Has anyone had any experience with this site?

I am about to buy a blackbox GPS from them. Looks like a good deal but curious about their track record.

Hi Ron,

I've not ordered anything from them in awhile, but in the Spring of 2004 I ordered a Raymarine gyro heading sensor from them and I had no problem with them at that time.

Thumbs up from me

I purchased a Garmin 176 GPS/Chart Plotter from them back in March, and their price was less than anyone else even including the shipping. I got the unit 4 days after I paid for it, and have had no problems.

Black Box What?

Post by Parfait's Provider »

What is it you are going to do, connect your GPS to your VHF? I use an old Magellan GPS for that, but it isn't as neat as a permanent installation. I could wire up the chart plotter to the VHF, but I like the redundancy.
Keep on sailing,

Ken,

That's part of it. But I am getting a radio that has no face plate. It only has remote mics.
