A sample of the latest innovation’s we’ve tested and reviewed are the Fusion Apolo RA 770 Alternate, the Clarion CMS4, Humminbird’s new LakeMaster, Garmin’s palm-sized inReach, GPSMAP 8600 CRUISING Support Helm 2v2, Axiom’s Quantum 2 radar and Mercury Marine’s new Nautic-On Pro. If this list seems large, well good news, it’s nothing compared to what’s to come.
