Re: Stus-List Raymarine e-Series Chartplotters/MFDs

At risk of starting this up again, Fred, can you define what the extra power / newer features gives you in terms of capabilities? It looks like both provide WiFi and my old Garmin 545 was powerful enough to navigate by. Like Edd, I was wondering whether the step up in screen size for the e vs es

Mike, I bet you can adjust that auto-dimming feature. I have a smaller unit (420) and it allows for adjusting the screen brightness (and auto-dimming). If I recall correctly, you press the power button (I think that the long press is off, so the short press should bring you to the brightness

Re: Stus-List Raymarine e-Series Chartplotters/MFDs

As a huge fan of Active Captain. I urge you to both try AC and verify that your prospective chart plotter/MFD works with AC. I too looked at the Raymarine MFDs and talked to one of their sales reps at the Annapolis Boat show. I was disappointed with the lack of open source compatability. It

Re: Stus-List Raymarine e-Series Chartplotters/MFDs

Edd already has the Ray autopilot. I find Active Captain useful for planning, but don't use it at the helm. That's just me. B apparently is adding ethernet ports to their units which will make it easier to integrate with PCs etc. NMEA 2000 makes stuff slightly less proprietary, but you may not

Fred, I do want the 9-inch screen (at least). There are so many different models — is there a guide somewhere which tells people what system has what? All the best, Edd Edd M. Schillay Starship Enterprise C 37+ | Sail No: NCC-1701-B City Island, NY Starship Enterprise's Captain's Log

Edd — if you’re looking at the e Series, for about the same $$$ in the smaller display sizes I’d recommend looking at the newer eS Series. It’s a more powerful and newer version of the e Series, with the same Hybrid Touch interface. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C
