Post by Don Chesley »

Is anyone here using a chart plotter or a marine gps like the iway600c. I would like to find out how they work for you and what if any problems you have had. don Chesley

Remember you will have to buy the NautiPath charts as well.

For that price ou can get a marine one that is waterproof. I doubt one of those would last long on a boat unless you put it in some kind of case.
