I have an old but very good Raymarine pathfinder set.

 

But I believe Adam is very pleased with his more modern Lowrance set. I am sure that has a more streamline display.

 

I know those of us that had them were using them last weekend, and I for one was very pleased to have it.

 

It may be down to matching it to other things on the boat so they can talk to each other.

We've just fitted the Northstar BR24 broadband which is identical and it is stunning. I can pick up birds on the water, pot buoys and god knows what else.

 

From research prior to purchase, it is excellent for closer range work and blows traditional radar out of the water under about 8nm, working above that I believe the traditional type starts to give clearer readings...

Nige - what plotter do you have and what size? Can you network with that?

 

If not I'm more than pleased with my Lowrance - stunning performance for the budget.

Adam have 7inch plotter[7200c] in cabin,still waiting for my 2nd hand 10inch hds ,I`m having it all networked so 5hds will be on fishing platform ,great for wrecking I thought

 

Still not sure what to do or what make?
