Afforable Electronics

As much as I'd like a solar powered wireless TicTack syste,, it might mot be in my immediate budget :) I'd like to hear people's thoughts on the most affordable *electronic* set up for... GPS Plotter Depth Wind (speed and direction) Maybe a cheapy Fishfinder and then a wired wind indicator?

wheel or tiller? is there an autopilot in the future at some point? /ch On Sun, Aug 29, 2010 at 5:13 PM, northbrit <co… [at] compassdesigns.net>wrote: > > > As much as I'd like a solar powered wireless TicTack syste,, it might > mot be in my immediate budget :) > > I'd like to hear people's thoughts on the most affordable *electronic* > set up for... > > GPS > Plotter > Depth > Wind (speed and direction) > > Maybe a cheapy Fishfinder and then a wired wind indicator? > > > -- /ch

Its a wheel... I might add an autopilot in a couple of years, but can't see it immediately. My bungee cord works pretty well in under 10 knot winds :)

given your list and the potential for an autopilot: GPS garmin map 76 Plotter standard horizon 180 Depth raymarine (if you get an auto pilot) Wind raymarine (if you get an auto pilot) Check into a good vhf as well, around 150-170 for a fixed mount. Then you can connect the gps, plotter, vhf via a terminal strip to they all talk to each other. You can connect the autopilot when you get one. Whatever system you buy its best to stick with one brand as its easier to them to all talk to each other. Stick to a basic NMEA0183 network rather then the proprietary seatalk or company specific network systems as you don't need to by the expensive cables and connectors.

Thanks... Standard Horizon CP 180i Special Features * 12 Channel WAAS GPS Receiver for up to 10 foot accuracy. Does that mean it has a GPS built in?

Yes. Check to see if it has an internal antenna (preferable, IMHO). Otherwise, you'll need an external one.

Assuming the 180 will give you bearing and distance to waypoint and track info, you should not need the 76.

This produce is a GPS Chartplotter. It will also take a SiTecx Radar. Very versatile, very reasonable.

For the CP180i the "i" stands for "internal" as in internal antenna. The CP180 has an external antenna.

To accomplish a GPS fix and an electronic chart image all you need is either the CP180i or CP180 and a proprietary C-Map cartridge from Jeppesen.

Backup device. The cp180i comes with a GPS chip build in however I would not go to sea with a single device. Secondly, its nice to have both the plotter and the gps at the helm, one for charting and possibly AIS or other functions, and a simple position report from the GPS76. The display screen is configurable. ie: speed over ground to confirm the one mounted on the bulk head. Get the wire harness for the garmin and you can plug it in at the helm via a cigarette lighter and place a second one below decks and you have ithe device available for the ships computer via a usb adapter as the terminal strip and wire harness requires a power source (that is fused) /ch On Mon, Aug 30, 2010 at 1:53 PM, <he… [at] comcast.net> wrote: > > > Assuming the 180 will give you bearing and distance to waypoint and track > info, you should not need the 76. > > > Harleigh > > Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry > ------------------------------ > *From: * Barrie North <co… [at] compassdesigns.net> > *Sender: * Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com > *Date: *Mon, 30 Aug 2010 12:00:20 -0400 > *To: *<Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com> > *ReplyTo: * Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com > *Subject: *Re: [Cal_Boats] Afforable Electronics > > > > So that doesn't mean I need the GPS garmin map 76 AND the Plotter standard > horizon 180? > > Barrie > > > On Mon, Aug 30, 2010 at 11:35 AM, <he… [at] comcast.net> wrote: > >> >> >> Yes.

I have a Standard Horizon CP180i (i stands for internal antenna option). I like it except for the fact that I have been unable to have it calculate or show the "Velocity Made Good" to a waypoint (I use this to optimize sail trim / course heading). So I resort to my old handheld for that calculation. If you have a working knot meter that will talk to your GPS/ chart plotter then you maybe will be able to have it or a separate data display show you the water current real time. I did this with an old garmin years ago and found it very useful. However I currently (no pun intended) do not have a working knot meter so I don't know if the CP180i will do this calculation... --- In Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com, chris123 <chris.herrnberger@...> wrote: > > Backup device. > > The cp180i comes with a GPS chip build in however I would not go to sea with > a single device.

Did a very cursory check in the manual available here: http://www.standardhorizon.com/indexVS.cfm?cmd=DisplayProducts&ProdCatID=84&encProdID=491E084FB06B41812BEEF96C77A4A8E2&DivisionID=3&isArchived=0 and Im pretty sure it provides that data.
