I got a Standard Horizon 155C and a C-map Bizer chart for Christmas. Seems like a great combo to me. I never considered using it to actually plot a course on the lake though, seems like you could just see where you want to go on the map and mentally plot a route there while the map moves. I'll know more when I use it.
The main reason I wanted a maving map display device was for those afternoons when you are peering into the sun, unsucessfully trying to determine the color of a spar, and therefore, which way to proceed around it. Moultonborough bay is the worst area for me in this regard. There so many spars in the middle of wide expanses of water and I just can't memorize them all.
