the plotter doesnt display the depth #'s or sonar charts, just depth shading but other than that i find the plotter to work well and be more than adequate for anything you would really do with the type of boats these are. are you not happy with how it functions?
Me?

I solely hate the fact I can't enter coordinates. I tried to meet some people based on their coordinates and could not enter them.

ahh ok i see. trying to meet or find someone, yes that could be useful. i was thinking you were trying to plot a coarse and wanted to hand type in all the waypoints via gps coordinates. i was thinking, damn thats a little tedious lol.

Some DSC radios can do coordinates/waypoint navigation. Maybe that would be an option in lieu of the Connext nav screen not having that capability? My little handheld Standard Horizon HX870 can do position requests and position reports by MMSI number too. I assume better higher powered DSC radios could do at least as much also.

I spent an hour playing with it/going through the manual and could not find a way to enter WayPoints with Coordinates. You can create WayPoints based on your current location but that is useless unless you go back there.

Well you can make a way point anywhere you want by just touching the screen on the spot for the point…..unless thats what you meant. Yes i dont think you can type in actual coordinates

If you're in the middle of the ocean in a 275 you need to worry about more than waypoints!
🤣
Seriously though, I drop waypoints for places I want to go back to later. And even without coordinates to enter, your phone can pinpoint a coordinate for you and you simply zoom in and drop a waypoint at that location, no?

We were in the gulf a few miles out. Cell service was in and out. Tried to meet some people at set coordinates but couldn’t enter them. This should be the number one feature of any navigation.
