Our boat came absent of vital electronics such as a radar, GPS, chartplotter
and autopilot. Since we will be doing the Great Loop we need to outfit our
boat and are in the midst of total confusion. We like the idea of using a
PC with navigation software. (We have looked at Nobeltec.) With an up and
down helm, how much trouble is it moving a laptop computer from one to the
other should sudden bad weather appear? The bridge, where we mostly drive
out boat, has only a bimini. Would a marine computer be our best bet? We
are trying to find the best radar/GPS/ chartplotter equipment that is the
most economical and will do the job for us. PC vs. the standard navigation
units, i.e. Raymarine, Furuno, JRC???? HELP!
Thanks again for you suggestions and opinions.
