Ideal marine electronics, Mac Mini version
I think I had a pretty good idea yesterday, encouraging you all to submit your visions of ideal gear set-ups, but I made it much too complicated. Now you’ll see below that I’ve simplified the categories into classic “good, better, best” terms, and also started (crude) Web pages for system descriptions that come via email. These could become valuable resources not only for my writing projects, but for anyone trying to think through a nav/comms system of their own. Isn’t it interesting, for instance, that the first two submissions in the “better” category represent two quite different approaches and brand choices (both reasonable, I think)? Richard’s came with these photos of his Mac Mini install, and his “Thanks to GPSnavX for giving me the privilege to not have to run Windows for navigation!”, which makes the second time this week that he’s gotten raves here.
Ben,
Thanks for this Ideal marine electronics forum. I often think about what would be "ideal" for me and for others as well, and I am amazed at how many different arrangements I can conjure up for any given environment. It will be quite interesting to see what folks come up with, and I think that this could become a really valuable resource in general. Bravo.
