• Chartplotter advice please!
  • I have a CP180
    • Thanks! I plan to use it
      • CP 180 is quite simple to use
        • Garmin UI is totally useless if you want to set up a route
  • If you think you might ever leave your home chart region...
    • C-Map regions are pretty large
  • CP 180 is a bargain
    • Thanks Ken, do you use it
      • It's topside. Very good sunlight viewing.
  • I also have a cp180...
    • iPad
      • I've thought about...
        • Well in the case of the iPad...
          • Ipod touch has an add on for GPS, might work for Ipad
            • The iPad has GPS receiver built in. What else do you need?
              • Not sure that this is true GPS...
                • Yup, it is.
                • It is true GPS with assisted cold start, and only in the 3G model...
                  • Agree with you RE the cost of GPS...
            • It's in there
              • I like their "Stuff" as well.......There was a long range forecast for Apple a few days ago.
                • I think Apple has learned important lessons
  • If you only have one -- get one that is waterproof.
    • I see the CP180 is now waterproof
  • I bought a Lowrance HDS-5m last spring and it is great...
  • David, I have a CP180 as well --I like it.
    • Thanks for that Jud! It sounds
      • Hi David...yup, taking in the Olympics and, frankly, enjoying the sunny warm weather...
  • Like our Garmin 276c with BlueCharts very much.
  • Garmin 541
    • About half the people we have sailed with over here in the Bahamas
