Pros: Simple addition to the Furuno NavNet system to add GPS
Cons: None

I purchased a Furuno NavNet system which included the 1724C Radar unit display. Installing the BBW-GPS unit added GPS capability to the 1724C. The Furuno NavNet system interconnects each component and it all works very well together. I couldn't be happier with my electronics setup. Furuno costs a bit more but I think I got a great package price and electronics that will last for many years in the process.
