I purchased a Simrad Cruise 9 I purchased a Simrad Cruise 9. It would be nice if the sun cover was includedq and not an accessory, also a little disappointed that my lake is not included in the maps. I understand that it came with USCoastal maps but i am on the west coast of Florida. All the other less expensive units ive owned have had both. On the upside I do like the unit over all and the order was processed and shipped very quickly even with standard shipping.

Purchased a Go9 in June of 2022 which… Purchased a Go9 in June of 2022 which had a 2 year warantee and it lasted 7 hours then refused to power up. After several weeks, Simrad replaced this unit with a new Go9 in time for the 2023 new england boating season. This unit failed after 15 hours - same problem, refused to power up. They are now sending me a 3rd Go9 with a reminder my warrentee expires in June of 2024. About the time I will probably launch the boat. My other boat has a 3 year old Furuno at the upper helm and a 15 year old Garmin at the lower helm both still working perfectly. It doesn't seem Simrad builds with simular quality these days. Initial customer service seems to be based offshore as well.

FOUR HOURS ON HOLD AND STILL NO ANSWERS! After spending over FOUR HOURS on hold with Simrad Tech Support, I still haven't been able to reach a warm body with any knowledge about how to resolve a simple issue with my brand new NSX 9. I have rarely witnessed worse customer service from a company with which I spent thousands of dollars. If you DO decide to buy a Simrad unit for your boat, DO NOT consider an NSX model. Evidently almost nobody in the company knows anything about them and they are anything but user friendly.

Wow what service Wow What a service . I bought a Mfd just before lockdown then never fitted it and put it in a cupboard .recently got it out to install in the boat but unfortunately the software needed updating and the chart code wouldn’t load. Knowing the warranty had expired I contacted simrad who happily took the unit back updated the software and checked the maps were now loading correctly . They then returned the unit back to me at no cost to me .I sent it Monday and had it back by Wednesday I offered to pay even if it was just for the postage but they were adamant there was no charge . I couldn’t be happier with this sort of service so a big thank you to Simrad.

I upgraded to the 3S shortly after this… I upgraded to the 3S shortly after this version hit the market. Big mistake! I called Simrad every week, multiple times a week, for about three months. They don't answer or call back when they say they are going to. The equipment will not update and I constantly get a message stating I need to update. With guidance from Simrad, I have reset my system multiple times and still without resolve. If I didn't have about 15K into the system, I would gladly change it out for Garmin. I will never buy Simrad again. They have horrible customer service, they are dishonest and will say anything to get a customer off the phone.
