I use Nobeltec and like it a lot. However, I have a separate radar. I like
the redundancy and never did like the radar overlaid onto my nav screen.
Nobeltec does make a "black box" that will connect any radar to your nav
computer. The Admiral software is very powerful but expensive; have you
compared it to regular Visual Navigation Suite? Here are the guys who
supplied my nav computer and screen package:

systems. Personally, I'd suggest going with the PC based system with one
caveat... When you get the PC, do a clean install of Windows XP (home or pro
seem to work fine) put your nav stuff on there and not much else. Keep it
clean and simple and do all your other stuff on another laptop. I think
you'll find it's worth the extra $$.
