I need to upgrade my electronics due to theft, luckily my insurance covered it. I am planning on purchasing Furuno NavNet VX2, my question is I have always had Navionics but I am interested in C-Maps weather service/ surface temp capability. Any opinions?
C-MAP or NAVIONICS?

C-Map vs Navionics
Had the very same question when I went to Furuno...also wanted the weather module. At that time (March/April of 2007, only the C-Map offered Sirius Weather Module support. Went with C-Map Gold and still havn't used all the options.

Well, if you buy a Navionics Navnet and decide you'd rather have a C-Map Navnet, it's a 15 minute some-what painless operation. Setting the unit back up will take longer. And you will just have to sell the chart somewhere.

I have 2 units - My Furuno uses cmap and my Lowrance use Navionics. I like having both - I do not see a big difference. I would go with the one you have had so you are already familiar with the features
