While being told I'm a Luddite all the time I can still see the value of good quality cheap electronic aids to navigation because they make the whole VoksCruising gig easier, safer, and more affordable. Sure you can pay a lot more for a much bigger/hipper unit but an electronics package like this is pretty much all you really need.
Gone are the days you needed to pay thousands of dollars for basic electronics and that's a goodly thing.
Now, offhand I'm not a huge fan of Garmin chartplotters because Garmin charts tend to be pricier than others and a cheap chartplotter starts getting very expensive when you buy the sort of needful chart library. So, before you go out and jump on a charplotter/fishfiner combo do a little homework on the chart coverage you need and what it costs...
Which is why I tend to prefer this GPS chart plotter/fishfinder because once you factor in the cost of charts it's a lot more economical in the long run.
Either way it's a good time to be fitting out a VolksCruiser...
