Looking at purchasing a Navman 5100 Chart plotter. Any feed back on how good or bad this unit is would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks: fisher2957
Evening Fisher,<br />These units are made in New Zealand. They are used a lot in Australia & have a good reputation.<br />Easy to use & take C-Map cards. If you can afford it go for the 5500I as the colour screen is much easier to read in daylight.<br />Regards,<br />Peter.
Peter <br />Actually I did order the 5500I. Live in south Louisiana. The local West Marine matches internet pricing and there special was the 5500I with a free fuel sensor so I got the lowest price off of the net for the 5500I and ordered thru them with the free fuel cell. Can't wait for it to come in.<br /><br />Thanks for the reply: Fisher 2957
Evening Fisher,<br />One small point. How big is your engine? There have been some issues with high HP (175+) engines & flow meter accuracy. It does not reduce performance but you may get a false reading. Error tends to indicate that you are using LESS fuel than is the case.<br />Regards,<br />Peter.
