SimradCruise 9-9-inch GPS Chartplotter with 83/200 Transducer, Preloaded C-MAP US Coastal Maps

Chart plotters have gotten more sophisticated and complicated over recent years, especially with all the networking that can be done. This has led to more difficulty in using them for casual crew members and even distracted skippers.The Simrad Cruise series offers a very capable but simple stand alone option. I cruise and race a 10 meter sloop off the Pacific Northwest and while I have a network system with gps chart plotter, VHF and race instruments all linked up in the forward cockpit I am installing the Simrad Cruise 9 at the helm and independently of the main nav system. I will have clear and simple info on position, course, speed and depth without burdening my crew with running the “network ” under often stressful race or weather conditions. Having two independent systems will add safety and redundancy as well.The pricing at under $400 US for a 9 inch screen is amazing value for a respected brand. Too bad the screen cover seems so expensive….

We installed the unit in a little over two hours. Very easy installation, but what I am excited about are all the options this unit has, and it is comparable to units costing a thousand dollars. Colors and contrast are excellent and changeable. The plotter has so may features and dose the depth and fish finder. Excited to get started using all the features and YouTube Videos, I cannot thank them enough. Watching the video opened all the capabilities this unit has. Love it way more than my previous unit, which gave me years of dependable service, but this unit has so many additional features. I highly recommend this unit, if you're considering an excellent map plotter, sonar, fish finder, and simplicity in operation.

This is my first chart plotter so I wasn't sure what to expect or how to use it. I am starting to become familiar with it and liking it so far. I do wish it had some programable buttons for favorite routes like my buddies Garman has but it is what it is.
