Currently using an old furuno gps/depth finder. Looking to update the plotter and add a radar. The new low power (solid state) units look neat. Just want to be able to see in the fog.

I played with demos at west Marine and some displays were really nice and consume noaa maps. The displays were as nice as an ipad. Not a fisherman but son is.

I can’t tell good from bad though, the furuno was primitive and sort of sucked for 20 years, but it always worked.

I don’t want to upgrade anything in the future, just need something reliable.

So... what is a reasonable unit?
