I have had flowscan and navman fuel flow gauges.
Flowscan was far more accurate and far more reliable.
The navman has been the most disappointing piece of gear I have ever installed on my boat. While installation was super easy, this gauge is FAR from accurate.
One minute it shows 1.1 GPH at idle, the next it shows over 7 GPH. While towing my boat on the trailer, it shows me burning 0.5 GPH with the engine OFF.
If I had it to do over again, I would go back to flowscan.
Hope this helps.

thanks guys, I have a Lowrance unit and am looking into using the LowranceNet interface system. It seems easy enough, but I wonder how accurate it will be. I like the Flowscan, but boy are they proud of their electronics. As of now, I'm still going to do some more research.
