Finally getting one. The main reasons for getting one, were a) HDG data that isn't deviated by electromagnetic fields and b) HDG accuracy. I currently have a maretron SSC200 which is going to act as backup. The SSC-200 is very sensitive and effected but the slightest interference which cause me grief. Mainly the boat on the plotter no facing the direction it should be, which is crucial for things like ARPA and overlay.
The unit I chose is rebranded by True Heading but is made by Hemisphere GNSS. I chose the MKII model which is the most accurate with a heading accuracy of 0.3 degrees and a position accuracy of up to 0.3 Meters. It's no cheap piece at ~$2300 but it'll give me what I want. Once we get back to the states I'll be putting the order in, and once I get her and hook her up I will report back. Hopefully with good news. BTW it's N2K too.
