I have a question I hope someone can help me with.


I have a 2004 Searay Sundancer with a Raymarine SL70C. I am not happy with the Cartography on the SL70C (I have the latest C-map updates, but I would prefer the Navionics system).


I have been told that I cannot upgrade just the GPS unit, and that I would need to upgrade the entire system to full SmartCraft. Is this true? (I am an electrical engineer, so a little hacking does not scare me!).

One thin that particuarly bothers me is the way the unit does not "stitch" the various maps toether; it does not switch from one map to another until you actually arrive at the boundary. This gets pretty hair-raising!

Your GPS is a couple of generations old. There is not really anything you can do to it to make any improvements. For less than a grand you could upgrade to something that might be more to your liking.
