Electronics...I just can't decide
I have been pulling my hair out (whats left of it) exploring all the gps and FF's this spring. I just can't decide. I normally pull the trigger pretty quick when I see what I like. I thought I was set at least with the FF (getting either the Furuno 600L or the 582L) but frankly they have poor resolution and compared poorly to some of the newer units offered by the "B" companies. Furuno FF's under 2K you get a small screen and with poor resolution. If you want something really decent from them you need to drop 3500+. In the store they had a Lowrance unit next to the furuno 600/582 and I have to say the Lowrance had an amazing screen. (White background with 640X480 res on decent size screen, (not their top of the line 104 either) it was very sharp and the furunos looked very blocky in comparison) Also the buttons on Lowrance were more intuitive.
I am now seriously considering a big screen all-in one unit now either the garmin 2010C or the Lowrance 104C, but it would be nice to hear how the FF elements of these units work.
I have hit the "reset switch" now and I am re-looking at all therse units....I am willing to go up to 3K for both a FF and GPS chartplotter either all in one or separate...what do you guys like in that range?
