Funny that you mention touch screen I have a Standard Horizon CP180 mounted on bulkhead of the boat in cockpit. I am constantly touching the screen in the menu. Guess that is because of all the time we now spend on tablets at home ... I actually did this twice last race and a couple times the week before .. despite having this chartplotter for 4 years ... BTW - radar would have been nice last Saturday in HAlifax - the chartplotter was a necessity Mike Nut CAse

I could continue to use the existing fish finder and leave the old GPSmap as a backup. ---------- Original Message ---------- From: Joel Aronson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Stus-List chartplotter/radar Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2012 16:56:15 -0400 I agree with Fred that 12 is huge, but I could see a 9 inch only because they seem to run 7, 9, 12. �There are buttons on the side, increasing the size of the case. �Plus it looks like a model being replaced. �Imagine the size of the mounting pod, especially if it is going to contain other "toys". But it is a great price!
