Plotters, MFDs & Radar
GoFree: Simrad Nav Goes Mobile
Being natural-born skeptics, Practical Sailor testers are always pleasantly surprised when we test gear that meets—or almost meets—the hype from its makers and marketers. And that was just the case with Navico’s GoFree WiFi wireless networking device for Simrad products. We recently field tested it, and found that aside from a few niggles, the GoFree lives up to maker’s claims, is easy to install, and works well—straight out of the box!
