Hi Reg,
I use Water Explorer on Epiphany all the time using my laptop connected to a GPS receiver. I have been using the in-test Navvygator to collect the data, update our position live as we cruise and automatically upload the journey details at the end of the trip, through the laptop's mobile internet connection. We use a program called Geosetter to add our photos to the route on googlemaps or Google Earth and display the map of the cruise on the our website: http://nbepiphany.co.uk Although I used to be a ham, I'm afraid I let my callsign lapse several years ago. Genealogy is however a hobby, and my website has my extensive Family Tree included. Maybe you have already come across our site. WBW John Slee
