I cannot say enough good about it. If it were possible to buy daylight waterproof displays for less than a commercial chart plotter costs Raytheon, B&G, Sitex, etc. would all be unable to sell any plotters. The real downsides are the current demands of a PC and relative fragility of the hardware. I use an ancient IBM ThinkPad as my nav PC. It can run on straight 12 volts if need be (I have an 18 volt adapter that charges it and runs it) and is NEVER connected to any network EVER. It has nothing on it but OpenCPN and PSK-31 software for the SSB. Joe Coquina
