I don't have a Si-Tex plotter myself, but my father has one and is very happy with it. Between the two of us we've used C-Map charts on Si-Tex, Simrad and Standard Horizon systems and they work very well. I don't really have any information comparing them to the Navionics charts but as I understand it they both do the job well.
I run the Navionics charts side by side with the C map Max. They both work well. It depends on the area where you boat. C map was extremely responsive to correction and active on the forums--they were bought out by Jeppesen (a well respected cartography company) and we don't see the employees posting on the forums as we did in the past.
Both have newest updates on a regular basis. They have the Platinum plus Navionics-which has enhanced views and points of interests. vs the C map Max Pro--which has the same type of information. Both have tides and currents. I haven't checked the latest, but at one point Navinioinics had some spetacular bathospheric charts.
I may buy one of the Sitex chart plotters to try their AIS integrated system (vs hooking up one of the cheapie recievers to a Garmin unit, with some fiddling around.
Sitex is combined with Koden, a well respected commercial instrument makers. Right now they seem to have some of the best priced units.

Ok, now I get it. :thupThe Luddites were a social movement of British textile artisans in the early nineteenth century who protested — often by destroying mechanized looms — against the changes produced by the Industrial Revolution, which they felt threatened their livelihood.
This English historical movement has to be seen in its context of the harsh economic climate due to the Napoleonic Wars; but since then, the term Luddite has been used to describe anyone opposed to technological progress and technological change. For the modern movement of opposition to technology, see neo-luddism.

I have used the fish-n-chip chart for the raymarine. this is thier bathospheric charts. its great and worth the money if you are going to fish a lot. You get xtimes the depth lines and that gives you a better idea of the bottom. You can find small flat spots on the side of slopes that do not show up on standard charts. just a really useful tool for fishing crabbing and shrimping. Shows a lot of humps in the sound and straits that hold halibut that just dont show up on other charts. down side is that there is not navigation info in the chart. not enough space for both I am told.
