I like it.

Simple is good.

Yes, high on this "not do" list is the latest fancy electrical gadgets...

I'm always amazed at the refit budgets thrown at people looking to buy their first boat. While I understand how easy it is to underestimate repair costs in both time & money it always seems that replacing any electronics over 2 or 3 years old is high on the list. I don't get it. If the stuff works use it.

It's not that you have to replace them, if the stuff works great. It's that at around 5 years old you have to assume they won't.

I like toys, I like my MD's that talks to my phone, that talks to my watch... But I don't think it's at all necessary. But like most toys I don't need to justify it, it makes me smile and that's good enough.

But I dint buy the new MFD because of it, I bought it because the 5 year old one kept telling me I was on the Malta coast despite clearly being in the Louisiana swamp.

Maybe it was just wishful thinking.
