Do you have any timeline on the Garmin Radar/XM radio link?
I am aware in their avionics products line that the XM link is used to
display radar NexRad info about every 5 mins. Also, Jeppesen, a major
aviation navigation charting firm, is supposedly going to market a predicted
radar display along route of travel for up to 4 hours in advance. Probably
won't migrate to the boating community very soon, if ever.

I find the Navman as easy to use as the Gamin.

Junk.
Go Garmin, who sets the pace for marine units.

I was considering the Navman before I purchased my Garmin 182C. The
Garmin charts seemed a bit better and the display is certainly better.

I was wondering what Brunswick was going to do with Navman since they
now own the company. Perhaps "SeaRay" brand navigation equipment
instead of RayMarine in their boats.

BTW, Garmin is coming out with Radar and an XM or similar radio function
that will be able to show weather maps right on the chartplotter.

This sounds very interesting.
