new Chartplotters

Post by Captain Kirk »

I have an old Std-Horizon chart plotter that needs to be replaced. I have been augmenting the chartplotter with Navionics on iPad and iPhones so i have a headstart on using any chartplotter that uses Navionic charts. I have looked at the Raymarine Axiom series MFD which I understand is relatively new on the market. I found it quite easy to use at Raymarine's booth at the local boat show. Navionic charts are constantly and easily updated by wifi on the Axiom, another feature i like.

Has anyone migrated to the Axiom series?

I did get some negative input from a local well respected electronics specialist. He says that some Axiom units have been faulty upon delivery and they have had to send them back to RayMarine. He says earlier Raymarine products were more reliable.

Any input from the forum is greatly appreciated.
