Simrad cruise 7 arrived 2 days after I placed the order. Well boxed and in good condition. Nice simple unit, easy install. Bright screen and user friendly controls. No nmea or radar inputs but why have those options if you’re not going to use them, which the majority of recreational boaters won’t. GPS works well and the pre loaded c maps offer decent charts and shows the depth as well. Hard to beat the price too.

Hi, Willie. We see you had previously written in about using Chirp and StructureScan with your NSS Evo2. Unfortunately, the NSS Evo2 does not support StructureScan and Chirp at the same time. You would need to stop your Chirp to use the StructureScan. If that's not what you were referring to, or if you need further assistance, please contact us a service.marketing@navico.com.
Good experience
Overall the purchase experience was very good and the product appears to be as advertised. I say appears because I have not used it yet. I called to enquire about what was loaded on the device (Cruise 9) before I purchased and was really not given an answer other than you got to use it to see if it covers my area. That response as a bit of a surprised.

I ordered the incorrect transducer and I’ve made 5 attempts to reach you to resolve. It’s been 3 weeks and no response. Doesn’t seem like you have a customer service department.

Beyond horrible support
Beyond horrible. Called 4 times today for support. Offshore phone agents that put my on hold constantly. Then transferred to next level, sat on hold for 1 hour, 15 minutes and the entire time, the message states I am number 1 in queue. Anyway, not an isolated incident. Have been calling Simrad for years and it's always like this. How can they expect people to pay the price they charge for their products and not offer excellent suppport?

It would be nice if the sonar "pause" feature could be turned on and off from the primary screen. In addition, the step to turn this feature off should be described in the on line users manual.

Not Happy
To start, i paid extra for expedited delivery. It said 1 to 2 business days. Its been 5 business days and it is still at least 2 days away. On top of this, the price changes to 100 dollars cheaper in just 12 hours. Since it didnt show in 2 business days. I dont need this item any longer. It was to be used in a trip that disnt happen due to no delivery of navigation tool.

We could have been more Simrad
I literally ordered a unit from the Simrad outlet site. The transducer quit working not too long after, well Simrad customer service/warranty department couldn't help at all. Even after sending my receipt I still didn't get help. If it wasn't new and I had not already made a custom mount/drilled holes I would have ripped it off and threw it away. However being that it is new and I made a custom mount. I replaced the transducer myself. I don't mind paying more but paying more because of poor customer service kinda sucks. I can't even say another product would would better but I know I'd try another company just based on my experience alone. However I doubt this will be read and im only one customer... I'm a grain of sand on a beach. Either way at least now I know where the bottom is.

Hi, Nicholas. Even though you are one person, we still care and value you as a customer. We're sorry to hear about your experience with customer service. From what I can see on the case, the agent wasn't able to open the picture of the receipt. I don't know if there's more to the story, probably so, we will reach out right now via email to see if there's anything we can do. Again, we apologize for the negative experience you had.
