Saw them at Pacific Sail Expo.
Will: I saw them at Pacific Sail Expo last year. They appear to be decent stuff. I believe that they are actually the OEM for the old W/M branded instruments and also for the Standard brand too (not sure about this). The actual spelling is NAVMAN. I think that they are an entry level to mid line of instruments. They had some nice features. Before I would buy these I would look at Nexus. The Nexus line can be installed as individual instruments or linked to a CPU. Nexus allows you to have one display that displays multiple functions or you can line 32 displays together.

Navman GPS/Chartplotter
We installed a Navman GPS/Chartplotter on our h410 recently. We are very impressed. It is easy to operate and understand. It's just a bit more than entry level. Uses C-Maps and is NMEA based and so works with most other instruments around. It is manufactured in New Zealand. I would recommend it. Gary

I am in the middle of installing .......
The wind instrument 3100, Multi 3100, and the Repeat 3100. I hope to purchase a Chartplotter soon. Considering one of two units on the market. If I go with Navman Tracker 5500, it will connect directly to the other Navman instruments via "Navbus" connections which are simple two wire same color connectors.... seems pretty easly done. Then, Nmea output data will be sent to my wp30 autopilot for the "sail to wind" feature of the autopilot or the "Navigate" feature which will use the GPS data for steering. Also considering the Std. Horz. cp150c but I am wondering if its as compatible with my other Navman instruments as the Tracker 5500. Has anyone done the preceeding setup? Would love hear more comments on this arrangment. Thanks, David
