Garmin 276C at the helm, Garmin 182C at the nav table, radar at the nav. PC running OpenCPN at the nav when we're doing serious multi-day cruising, GPS antenna hidden behind panels. Android phone running Navionics. Spare GPS in the ditch bag.
Most days, it's just the 276C. Navionics on the phone is the cost winner, hands down.
