I'm going to get one of the two, what experience do people have? My dilemma is which one.
I like the idea of the RADAR (as they call it) and would have put it in the cockpit next to the ST50's but from what I can see from the NASA site, the display is not waterproof. Space at my chart table is very limited so I thought about getting the engine instead..but my chartplotter won't display the data (i think) as it's a Raymarine RC435, so it would have to be for the laptop.The problem I have here is I don't like to rely on a laptop, but if I did go down this route what exactly is the charting software that comes with it? Are basic charts included and adequate, or can it read my Navioncs Gold charts?
Apart from the above, are there any significant advantages that the engine has over the display version?
Thanks
