Who Can Recomend GPS/Plotter, Touch- Guage Display?
I have seen the merc flat screen touch displays the ones that show the rpm, oil pres. engine temp and all the engine data and more but I want one that is touch screen and with a gps plotter.Can anyone recommend a fresh new model that has everything included?

how big of a screen were you wanting? I think the bigger mercury one is 7"?

Pretty much all the Garmins have all those features. I have a 741xs that I use just as a chartplotter, but could do stereo and engine gauges too. The interface is very user friendly, very fast responding, very intuitive. I found the Simrad and Raymarines weren't as intuitive and were a little slow to respond to the touch screen.

I know not every one likes Raymarine. But I have been using since 1998, know their operating system and menus and can highly recommend. The new Axiom 9 RV I just bought has awesome sonar and links to the 12" e127 that I use as the chart plotter. The e127 has both touch screen and manual control so works well in rough water.

I was thinking about the garmin 942 it has a 9 inch screen and that is the biggest one I can use for the space that is available.
I just want to know if these newer garmins all have this screen that shows the tachometer speed oil water etc. and then to switch to the gps screen or even if it could show both of these screens at the same time.
