Raymarine vs garmin

SKybolt said:
I did the same as well, I have RM Auto Pilot, but my point was you had to buy the adapters. Another thing that stands out is with digital switching, with Garmin it just works with other then Garmin products. With RM you can't add it unless you are a boat builder, although I read somewhere that may change. There are lot's of other little things like that that RM does.

Garmin has Navionics charts as well.

They didn’t when I made the selection. The owned Navionics but they hadn’t brought the charts to the Garmin plotters yet. And I didn’t like the Blue Charts at all.

yes, I understand they support Nav charts TODAY. What I said was, they didn’t support Nav back when when I made my choice of Axiom.

Anyway, I still prefer the UI of the Axiom.

And why I said Raymarine makes excellent equipment and so does Garmin.
 
Very happy with this mod. Initially got the grid remote to control the unit from the salon as I have it connected to the tv via hdmi. Figured why not come up with a way to mount it to the helm seat and have it removable.

Cool, looks nice. Tom did a similar thing as well. I have one hard wired and mounted on the side wall right next to the helm seat also.

How do you plan on connecting it in the salon? Didn't try it in wireless mode.

Believe it or not it works great in wireless mode from the salon.
