I only agreed to let them try as long as they promised to have a back up in case the Nav6 didn't live up to expectations.

The Nav6 (and the later the NavX-MXP which we converted to as soon as they became available) more than lived up its end of the bargain.

The NavX is the real deal. Highly HIGHLY recommended.

Also, I have no financial interest in the NavX folks. Just in case anyone was wondering...
