Many thanks. --Andy Andy The C70 is just a display unit and for it to work you will need to purchase options like Raystar 125 for GPS + Navionics electronic charts DSM 300 & transducer for Sonar 2 kW Radome 18" for Radar stevetheboat 30 September 2005, 11:43 Try this address Andy http://www.nautequipe.co.uk/erol.html#2963x0&& and click on Raymarine this should take you to the manufacturers site and there you can find all you need to know about both C & E Series equipment. Hope this helps. Steve Andy Moore 30 September 2005, 13:10 If one were to go down the C70 route, is it likely to work out expen£££ive for a GPS/plotter/fishfinder/depth combination? --Andy Andre 30 September 2005, 13:36 If one were to go down the C70 route, is it likely to work out expen£££ive for a GPS/plotter/fishfinder/depth combination? --Andy Yes the sounder module DSM 300 alone is quite expensive and if you do not want radar capability then do not opt for the C70 Go for the Raychart 435 or 435i as a GPS/Chartplotter and for depth the ST40 but if you want a fishfinder then say the DS400X or DS500X. Then again it all depends on what rib these would be fitted codprawn 30 September 2005, 13:37 Can anyone talk me through the functions of this unit? Many thanks. --Andy It is very much a multifunction unit. As other people have said you can get all sorts of different modules to plug into it. They do a GPS unit but almost any will plug into it - even a handheld. Not cheap but really good kit - you can even download the complete owners manual from Raymarine to have a read through. As with most of these units these days you can split the screen up or overlay data so you can have the plotter/radar/fishfinder data all displayed at the same time. stevetheboat 30 September 2005, 14:12 If one were to go down the C70 route, is it likely to work out expen£££ive for a GPS/plotter/fishfinder/depth combination? --Andy Andy if you are looking to have a colour plotter with GPS and colour sonar/fishfinder in one display the Standard Horizon CP175C with FF520 Sonar unit works out very economically compared to all the competion - details via link on our web site. Ps all Standard Horizon units carry 3 year warranty. Steve gtflash 30 September 2005, 18:05 raymarine guy at ribex told me to hold fire on buying a c70 as they were gonna create more economical all ready gps bundles complete with new software for pc route planning on the smalller c series.. worth the wait?? Roy Smith 30 September 2005, 18:06 Andy Try Cactus they are on the web I purchased a new E80 that will take the new 3D chart for almost the same price as a c series. We opted for a ST60 depth finder not the fish finder it keeps the price down and its pluged into the main unit so you can see your depth on both |
