Chart KitsIt's still important to carry paper charts, and it can be a pleasure, not just a duty. Maptech's market share and attention to detail are hard to beat, but some of the more local publishers also have much to offer. Hatches Made In Heaven? The hatches and lockers on a boat often serve as indicators of vessel quality on the whole. Which builders have God on their sides, and which claim the devil made them do it?

Monochrome GPS-Sounders Need a sounder and a chartplotter but don’t have the space or the money for two separate units? A monochrome combination unit might be the answer. Pickins are slim: either Garmin or Lowrance.
