I had the memory battery replaced last year, and the receiver had gone south. Dan how did you structure the interface between the Raytheon and the computer (what do they want for cabling, etc?).The GPS is pretty old, one of the first with a WAAS system.

To add insult to injury, it is much harder to follow an upgrade path through new iterations of operating systems (i.e Nobeltec for XP doesn't load on W7) so I will almost certainly go forward with some sort of buy in the next day or two.

For anybody thinking I swallowed the Kool Aid (Pat!) compare that to open source or $100 software plus the cost of the computer, where you get a better (more robust) computer.

I shouldn't complain, sounding like a wimp, but if I recall, I paid almost $1000 for the charting software I "lost" with the Vaio, and that in addition to the cost of the computer.

Also, it is hard to see in the sunlight, which limits it to use below. I have a dedicated cabinet with a fold-down table to store the computer. I think you get a really nice system with a laptop for navigation, but the big issue is that it isn't waterproof.

Might add that since I use Macs for work, I lean towards this solution, although I think there is more software available for PCs, and they are so cheap, a dedicated laptop is not a bad way to go for charting. The old system was Maxsea, which isn't supported for Macs anymore. I got the cheap version, but now I think I made the right decision, as I don't see the advantage to the vector charts. Might add that I got the NavX software in a big hurry when the old software-no longer supported-went south while we were cruising. They don't seem to even be available for much of the area where we cruise-some of this has only been charted at all for about 40 years. I've used this for about 15 years (the NavX program is new), but don't know much about the vector charts. I use a Ratheon GPS coupled to a laptop with the chart display.
