The most super simple installation with the seatalk starter kit. Ease of use at the helm of my sailboat. Cartography or data ... a multitude of choices and customization ... Radar sonar thermal camera etc. The less plastic of poor quality and quite fragile. Take care over time. Will not last 16 years as my last RN300 GPS;)
Bonjour, Le deuxième achat du même produit, pour dire à quel point je trouve cet appareil très performant et complet. Évolutif, simple et parfait. Cordialement. Jean Luc
Very good as a sailor usable! However, it sits very tight in the bracket bracket, so it can not be easily dismantled. Otherwise top technology for a good price!
The product I like, however, a pity for the user manual than in English. Yes downloadable in French but for printing, it is necessary to cut a hectare of forest .. Nevertheless, I can not display the speed and temperature of the water identical to the depth data. if anyone can help me, I am a buyer Thank you
I always wanted to buy the Raymarine eS78. However, I was not ready to give the original price for it. Due to the enormous discount of SVB I could not help but to lay the MFD now. Thank you SVB
Replaces my old C70 plotter. To integrate the device into the vehicle electrical system with ST60 instruments, a Seatalk1 Seatalk NG converter kit was needed. Unfortunately, the NMEA0183 connection cable (GPS outAIS) from the old C70 did not fit anymore, so the connection cabling had to be completely renewed. 1 star deduction is in the category "quality & workmanship", because the knob is very stiff, including the target accuracy z. For example, when selecting list entries. The CF card of the old plotter had to be replaced by a micro SD card. However, raster map formats (eg from NV-Verlag) are now also supported.
The wheel was defective on the first delivery. The second apparently used too much sealant for the display. The SVB service has the submission of photos only confirmed that this does not look like it should, but then never reported again after repeated inquiries. With both deliveries one could see that the original boxes were already opened several times. I have the feeling that B-ware or returns were sold as super special offer ... Anyway the plotter is exactly the one I wanted and it works. The protruding sealant I have removed myself ....
Good device maybe a bit complicated in the operation. But it can also be up to me, I probably have to practice a little more. My old Technics 505 was intuitively easier to use. Maybe it was also there because I used C Map Map material. I find that even clearer than the new Navionics maps
Ordered April 24 and delivered May 7 (donkeys?) Even for Corsica it's too long ... I ordered the Navionics map that would have been good But I was wrong I took the SD card instead of micro SD ... so accustomed that many devices (not that one!) do both. A little disappointed that no one from SVB phoned me to tell me my mistake! Good at the same time 900 € what is it nowadays ??? (nothing!) And now the professional conscience ... it's been a long time like Santa Claus, everyone talks about it but no one has ever seen them! So another 13 days to send it back and another 13 days to receive it? Too bad I like SVB we feel the serious German behind and French seriousness before ...! Otherwise not have time yet to evaluate the product since installed today but I think I will appreciate this GPS
I bought the plotter as a successor of my E7D to finally have multitouch too. Unfortunately, it turns out that the "7 inch" display fits in the calculation of 7 inches, but is still smaller in the diagonal than the 7-inch display of the E7D, the difference is noticeable. In addition, the power cable of the E7D, which also provides the connections for NMEA 0183 at the same time, can not be used with the ES7, only from the 9 series. As a result, you now have to move in the new power cable and on top of that you have to buy an extra cable for the NMEA183 bus (about 50.- €). This cable comes as a combo cable with the video connection. Is just a little disappointing ...
on July 5th I send an order for the purchase of the multi-function Display eS78 by paying by credit card. At the beginning everything is fine, the order summary arrives and I await confirmation, as written in the email. a couple of hours later I receive an email in which I am told to use a transfer for payment because at the first order they do not accept credit cards (?). This is absolutely not required by the sales conditions to which the payment site refers (downloadable), ergo there is a misleading advertising and an incorrect use of the sales conditions. Later I try to pay with a method suggested by them and I am told that the shipment will not take place before Monday with arrival so not in time for the start of my vacation. To have an expedited expedition you must pay a sum ten times higher that does not make the price so competitive. Moral abandoned purchase.

Poor Quality Control
Poor Quality Control - I had to return the equipment because it was malfunctioning. Didn't detect finger movement and made random, meaningless menu choices
