GPS question

tmm366 · 04-25-2006, 11:43 AM

Navtronics is located in Portsmouth, NH. Their website is www.navtronics.com. I dealt with a salesman named RJ. The total cost for the A65 gps and digital depthfinder will be approx $3100. $2100 for parts and $1000 for Installation ,travel and freight. This includes the navionics map software. I saw the A65 at the Boston Boatshow and was very impressed. The next step up would be a unit with radar costing $6000. I personally don't need radar on the lake, we dont go out in bad weather.
www.raymarine.com details all of their units and options. Hope this helps.

I have had two different Raymarine GPS units that have used the Winni C-map chip. The C-map chart is pretty good and I have had no problems thought both units seem to be taking longer to synch on startup now (2-10 minutes). I also use GPS in the car and for Geocaching and have since gone to a new Garmin Quest 2 which I can use in the boat, car (with routing/turn voice commands), or handheld on when on foot for hiking. If Bizer holds to his plan to release a Garmin-compatible Winni map this year, I will have the best of all worlds in a single GPS unit....and all for under $600. I'm planning on getting a second suction-cup mount for use in the boat. And best of all, it fits in my pocket.

Hello Bizer,

When will the Garmin support be available?

Will it be compatable with the Garmin Quest 2 and the POIs?
