I have had the cp1000c which is a 10" since 2004. It has performed flawlessly. Uses C-Map chips.
It also redraws very fast.
Additionally, there are 2 inputs for cameras.* I use one for a rearview unit.

I am taking a serious look at the CPN1010i. It *finally* ships March 1st and is a great deal for a 10" plotter with a street price of less than $2K. Will it hold up to the new Raymarine line? I can't answer that, but one thing I believe is that for the "cruising" we are doing on Skinny Dippin' (just yutzing up and down the ICW and the Neuse River), a high dollar plotter is not really necessary.

TBH, I would probably want one if I was going to be out-of-sight of land for a long time or in a boat like a center console that would beat the pure-T-sh*t out of everything onboard.GonzoF1 wrote:

I was very interested in the 1010i until I looked at the overall size of the unit and realized that even though it is a 10 inch diagonal screen, the height is less than 5 inches. I am now thinking 12", as I like the height to width ratio better.*
Thanks, Carey
ElwinLooks good there Carey. Are you using the built-in Charting program or are you using another ( downloaded or plug-in )?

Perhaps the best plotter is two plotters. One to navigate with and one to explore with and plan ahead.
