I'm not new to boating but, I am a newbie as far as chart plotting goes. I boat in Western Ma. lakes and the Hudson River. I'm looking to head out to other areas this coming summer and I would like to be able to see where I am, where I am going, and also be able to map out a safe route and not get lost.
I've been doing some research on different products that I believe will work for me, but I'm not sure if I should purchase a Chart Plotter with GPS, like a Garmin 94sv or a tablet with GPS and use Navionics app? I do not have a WiFi Hot Spot device
I'm not much of an electronics guy so I want to keep it simple, keep the cost down around 7-800 dollars. So I'm wondering what guys are using, and what might work best for my application.
Also, is there a way to tie all my engine data into the device? My boat is older with no type of data link plug.
Thanks!
