I too like separate units .....
Don’t know what your space issue is....which, if not that much, would make the argument for the combo unit .......
Side note ... I've never been a big fan of Raymarine ....nothing against them .... just been with Furuno since day one and plan on a 582L in the future.... But this new stuff they have out is rather intriguing ... C70 or C80 ....
I have recently played with the new digital FF
L770D (or something like that ) WOW what a display .... like watching HDTV on a plasma screen vs. an old tube with a rabbit ears !!!...Their simulated sun (search light) washed out a few manufactures ...did little to nothing to the new Ray stuff.....I'm very curious to hear what the “real time” users field reports say about these units .... Plus I'm wondering how much that picture is digitally enhanced ... to make it look THAT good.....I have to stay out of CONSUMERS !!!!! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
