Hi, here in Germany one can buy cheap chart plotter from Seatec ( made in China ).I found the manufacturer called ONWA Huayang Technology ( HK ) Co.,Ltd - FISH FINDER, MARINE GPS, CHART PLOTTER, MARINE RADAR, AUTO PILOT, CB RADIO, SATELLITE PHONE, ISATDOCK (anyone know this radar and plotters. They look like a copy of some Furuno GPS, esp the KP 32 is lookalike the Furuno GP 32.As today most electronic is comming from China i wonder is such manufacturer could be a good buy.
The prices are great. 12 ' plotter 800 USDMaybe they are sold under different names in the world. Hi Chris, i was thinking the same and maybe i will be in China this year and i consider to visit them directly and handcarry one plotter, ofcourse the 12 ' one back home to avoid any VAT. A friend just bought the 5 ' version which is sold under the name SEATEC and via Spain in Europe and so far it looks ok. Actually i do need to many gadget but only an nice big screen and seeong the price maybe incl AIS and fishfinder one could take the risk with the warranty issue.Only the cheap 5' model is sold here but not the bigger ones.i dont know why?Hopefully somemore here in CF have add info about ONWA. Yes I have Onwa KP-8299 and KP-6299.

As they were so cheap I bought both of them. Shipment arrived from China with air freight in a couple of days after wire transfer payment. Installed on the boat, one at helm, one at chart table. The smaller one seems to have more brilliant display so that one went to helm. Shows AIS targets as chart overlay and as AIS radar view, 38400 baud NMEA input.
4800 baud NMEA output to autopilot. Very substantial build, heavy cast aluminium. Only drawback that cannot show wind, depth info received from NMEA but the new firmware on SVB.de website now seems to include wind and depth some additional languages. Not sure if the firmware will work on KP-8299 though. Analysing the firmware update content could it be linux based? Would it be possible to run OpenCPN on this hardware?Anyhow, so far I'm happy with these units.
Hi all meanwhile i also received my Onwa plotter 1299 A with AIS transponder, screen is very brilliant, GPS fix in my basemant at home was very fast and i can trace 3-7 satellits even from the basement, seems to be a god antenna. I installed a C map Mega wide and so far everything is working.I have some ideas to improve some of the sreens and i am talking with Onwa and it looks like they are interested to fix it with new firmware. Fast and good respone by email so far.TO STARA: if you have any comment or ideas to improve something please let me know so that Onwa maybe can use the info for the new firmware. Now season has begun, but I haven't started yet, too busy. I will be around mid of June on boat and can test and use correct AIS receiving function cpa and tcpa.
Cpa: closest point of approach in some minutes future time from now, computed by own boat's GPS data own position + COG + SOG, and other ship's by AIS received data otehr position + SOG + COG of the other ship. In 2014 firmware cpa has shown not the future computed closes distance, but only the current distance (distance of now) of our boat and the other ship.
But in 2014 tcpa was computed correctly! Tcpa: time, when closest point of approach, shortest distance, will be there. Have you tried latest firmware of 2015-02-07?
Onwa marine electronics - UK Distributor - Downloads/everything else/url At home, it works well for me, but i cannot test AIS, tcpa and cpa at home:( Anybody out there, who receives other ships AIS and can have a quick look at cpa and tcpa? New firmware 2015 Onwa or Seatec Chart Plotter: AIS: cpa and tcpa working correct?Somehow the formatting is lost during my last posting, so please forgive me, if I repost, cannot edit my previous post.Also - got PM about my new status as 'Marine Serive Provider', too much honour, thanks!
