Hi there...
We have just installed a new Furuno 1834c nt 10.4" display at the upper helm of our boat, and have discovered that the chart (C-Map) is virtually unreadable. Even on an overcast day you really have to strain to read any of the text - numbers, names, etc. This unit is part of a new batch that had to be slightly re sourced due to a damaged manufacturing facility in Japan. So far Furuno is saying there is no problem so we'll see.
This same illegibility extends to the radar as well; the range numbers in the upper left hand corner are very difficult to read.
So if anyone has one of these units in service out in the sunshine, I'd appreciate yor thoughts.
