DEMA 2010 Live from Las Vegas

Although unveiled at last year's show. What is the report on the Navimate's progress into the marketplace? This has much appeal to me with mapping our extensive patch reef systems here in the Palm Beaches...

For Palm Beach info you might check out this site Florida Nearshore I got this from Pete years ago and its some of the most detailed charts I have ever used.

Got that as well. Thanks! The hardware of the Navimate looks more robust than last year's depiction, that's why I am asking...

I'd really like to see price and availability, it looks like a great unit.

It was my first time to DEMA...I'll never miss it again. The 4 hour drive was well worth it.

Mantadiver, only 4 hours?! Heck, I'd go every year if I could just drive there

Well, here's my contribution to the pool of DEMA news:

Highlights from DEMA 2010 - tons of shiny new dive gear

Calvin, did you see any of what the new features will be on the Oceanic Worldwide VT4, compared to the VT3? I dive the VT3.

How about next year when you have to drive for 3 days or so?

It's still vaporware. They were not real big on specs, but it will be strictly line of sight. I suspect getting bearing and declination as well as distance information from the surface/boat mounted transponder is the big challenge holding up development and availability.

I use a VT3 too. The VT4 had a lot of the same attributes as the OC1 does. It looked like quite a nice upgrade from the short amount of time I spent playing around with it. I would say that it's a bigger incremental improvement than what the VT Pro > VT3 was, for sure.
