touch screen and nema both are good units
im restoring a 28 skater now and went with 12" garmin
my opinion garmin is more user freindly to navigate settings

Priobe

I hear Simrad is more open to option and do not require to buy their system like Garmin.
Hope others will shed some light on pros and cons
thanks for the reply

are you replacing your gauges too?

Priobe

Not sure I will feel comfortable but hopefully info will help me determine that.

i think core physical gauge maybe be needed

Priobe

Nobody has made the switch from one to another?

Ran Garmin in my Scarab for 12 years, two years ago I purchased an 04 330ss uninstalled a Simrad Go9 and broadband 4G radar. I have tried to get familiar with the Simrad functions and still don’t have a good handle on it. If your going fishing then this has a lot of great features. I regret buying the Simrad and to make it better the radar went out two weeks before the end of the warranty. Short answer, Stay With Garmin.

Garmin hands down for ease of use. I install a lot of garmin units and have removed some so rad because people just couldn’t get used to their menus and functions
