Everyone, I currently have a 2004 390 MY that has the original Raymarine electronics including the VHF, Open Array Color Radar, and the old style GPS without chartplotter. The GPS has a depleted internal battery, I am told, and it loses its fix continuously and sets off the annoying alarms on it and the radar, and then the VHF. I want to upgrade the electronics starting with the GPS only as the radar works fine and am trying to decide if there is any benefit to staying in the Raymarine family or if the new electronics still wont talk to the old electronics. My second option is to go with the new line of Simrad Evo line to replace the GPS and sonar, and later upgrade the radar to Simrad's Broadband. (If I went the Raymarine route, I would probably eventually upgrade to their pulse radar)
I would be interested in any and all opinions!
