    Just installing my new Simrad displays.
    Dual NSS12E3s in the lower helm and an ole spare NSS12E2 for the bridge.
    Wow; So much more stuff and do-dads that I could imagine, that will take a long time to get used to.
    I'm not to impressed with the charts that came installed in the displays.

    I know the Explorer charts were the best in the Bahamas but no no plans on returning soon, if at all.
    For now, just S/E US coastal and inland cruising.

    Anybody have any comments on the better chart chips for the new Simrad NSS stuff?

    I like the C map chips, but go to the menu and make sure the chart detail is on full or most......

    I use Cmap chips on the Simrads on my 53 as well as on the office’s dinghy. Good details
