Default Northstar M84

Im really leaning towards the Northstar M84. Anyone have any comments on this unit or Northstar in general. I have always had Furuno stuff but right now it looks like the M84 is the deal for $1100 at getfeetwet.com

Northstar is all but out of business..they could not supply parts when they were in business...call Navico and ask.

The Northstar brand is discontinued, but Navico supplies almost the same plotter as Simrad NX40 so I would guess they should be able to service M84 also for a while. You can get NX40 for about ~1300 USD which is probably a better deal due to the better screen and since the model (and brand) is not discontinued.

When did Northstar get discontinued? Navman has been (in the US)..not Northstar.
