I'm used to the Garmin ones, but the charts are expensive. I've seen the LCX-37C Sonar/GPS Chartplotter Combo out there for about £500. Charts are reasonable too, Navionics at least.

Anybody have one? Any comments/reviews?

Well, for teh record, I bought one. £499 from mesltd.co.uk. Paid another £59 for the nauticpath card that covers Iceland to the Azores.

Stunning colour, easily readable, in bright daylight. The 8" screen is very clear to read, and there are many, many screen options.

Took me about three hours to install, but that included the shoot through transducer and mushroom, and all the wiring.

Too early to give a definitive review, but after a few days, I am very, very pleased with it.
