Also, try to investigate/compare quality of services at your place, or where
you are going to sail. For example, at my place (Croatia) they have very
qualified Furuno service, but very poor Raymarine service. My recomendation
is always Furuno becouse of this, but at your country may be oposite
situation...



I second the above... Furuno has ALWAYS been one of the leaders in Marine
Electronics Service and support, Worldwide. Just try and walk into ANY
Marine Electronics Repair Shop, ANYwhere in the World, and see what gear
is available, and what their Techs can fix, or Parts Replace. Furuno
will be #1, and the rest will follow. If Money isn't the problem, then
Furuno is for you.
