Wanted Chartplotter with depth sounder

[Kevin Goggin]

My once-trusty chartplotter needs replacing. It continues to function as a plotter but through obsolence it no longer has all of its functions (somewhat like myself). I would like to acquire a more recent model with all or most functions, including depth sounder. Any surplus plotters lying about?

Kevin,
Many of us now use Navionics App (now taken over by Garmin). All you need is a tablet with built in GPS, like Samsung and the chart subscriptions are relatively cheap and continually updated. Not sure what you mean when you say with depth sounder. Navionics has all the normal features of chart plotters including depth, but is not connected to the boats depth sounder. Part of the navigation skill is to compare the depth on the plotter with your actual depth sounder. You can get various quality of mounting brackets in chandlers or online.

Thanks, Paul.
I guess I'm looking for a way of tidying up the displays I have in the cockpit; it would be good to have the depth readings on the plotter.
But using the tablet with Navionics and the existing sounder is a good alternative.
kind regards
Kevin
