I have had B&G and Raymarine chart plotters and they both have advantages and disadvantages, so no clear winner for me. I found the Raymarine a bit more intuitive, but you get used to the idiosynchracies of either types as you use them. The one thing I have found really important is if you get a touchscreen model, make sure it also has backup buttons and knobs for control. I have periodically had my touchscreen refuse to respond to touch input, but I can use the buttons/knobs to make it work when that happens. Some models only work through the touchscreen. Dave
