1 . GARMIN inReach Mini 2 Satellite Communicator / orange

(5)

„It was turned on non-stop for 30 days. Constant tracking and 20-30 daily messages to land contacts. It clearly needs a view of the sky, so you need to bring the inreach into the cockpit. But with the bluetooth you can be downstairs on the phone texting. We bought it as a back up to the iridium Go and ended up using the Inreach more because it is faster and easier to use.“

3 . GARMIN GPSMAP 86s

„The part makes a valuable, stable impression. The display is easy to read in daylight. The image resolution is good (but not better than, for example, my 10 year old Lowrance iFinder H2Oc, which I unfortunately have to sort out because Navionics map updates are no longer available, although it works). which I will probably never need (on a small cruiser). The LiIon battery, which is expected to last a day of sailing without an external power connection, is advantageous. The operation is intuitive, at least for the main purpose, namely the display of the course on a nautical chart (here Bluechart G3). The way they are displayed, however, takes some getting used to (see my comment there) and cannot be changed by settings on the GPSMAP. Unfortunately, there is no suitable bracket (inexpensive, without a 12V connection and ideally suitable for the existing docking base with 4 claws), only an almost 100 euros expensive with a 12V connection, which requires new drill holes in the cockpit (not in the SVB offer)“
