Yeah, pretty much, and IMO Lowrance doesn't hold a candle to either Raymarine or Garmin.

I guess that's a matter of opinion, I have a GO9 on my CC and Garmin on the big boat, can't compare the two. The ease of use that the Garmin provides far surpasses the Simrad IMO. But I guess that's what it is about, opinion, everyone likes what they like.

Simrad, Lowrance, B&G are all built or provided by Navico.

Aren't some of the new SmartCraft displays basically OEM versions of a Simrad?
