A few years back, I decided to go with Navman for my upgrade from
Signet.... What a mistake! Navman was sold and merged into Northstar,
which has discontinued the line and offers absolutely no support!
The problem is the LCD display fades erratically. I have taken the unit
apart and it appears the connection is "glued" to the motherboard, which
is bizarre to say the least!
I could have gone with other brands such as Datamarine or Raymarine, but
I had problems with those folks regarding maintenance on other boats I
have owned...
Now there is a rumor that Raymarine is in trouble... They were sold to
Flir Systems (a thermal imaging company) in May for pennies on the
dollar. Maybe that is a good thing, but I went down this road with
Navman...
Has anyone done some research lately on instruments? If so, what would
you recommend?
