Good afternoon, I just acquired at Tolly the lower helm has at really nice Garmin 4210 radar/GPS chartplotter, new 2011. However the fly is without anything other than depth. I would use a computer but the screen gets washed out with bright light and not very weather resistant. Does Garmin make a slave screen? If I purchase a stand alone unit such as the Garmin 740S will that network so I can pull in my radar with my lower unit? There is a depth/fish finder and I saw Garmin offers a tool to tap into that information. Has anyone used such an animal? Is it reliable data or should I just abandon the old depth/fish finder and use the hole for a new transducer? Also I need new VHF upper and lower. Anyone have any experience with Garmins? Are there other models that you prefer, looking for a hailer, and fog repeater as we are traveling to areas where fog can be very unpredictable. Also as a side note, hand held VHF to carry on our life vest, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have been out of the electronics end of the marine business for quite sometime and could use some help. Thanks much!
