Garmin or Raymarine

[hagel]

I'm researching chart plotters / GPS for our SLX, I had a Raymarine on my Sundancer, and it was touch and go.. But when it worked it worked well, and had lots of integrated pieces (gps, radar, sonar, etc..).

I doubt well connect anything more then just basic plotting / GPS, mainly remembering waypoints, and basic nav (channels, coves, etc...) for new lakes we tow to. Although the ability to hook up to the Smartcraft would be nice (just to see more info).

We're thinking either the Garmin 700 series or the Raymarine e Series... Do any of you have experience with either, why did you choose what you choose?

thats the same as the old Ford vs Chevy debate both are great brands. what I tell people is go play with the units in the store and whatever one you are more comfortable with is the one for you
