Larry: This would be the way to go I think. http://www.maptech.com/water/offshorenavigator/ Mark Tamblyn From: It will give you distance between two
points but its planning features are quite limited. There is no facility to enter a series of
waypoints and then calculate time based on tide and boat speed. It is a basic
product. You can enter waypoints but it
doesn’t have the features of plotting a course and having the program
show you how much you are deviating from that course. It sure doesn’t compare to the
Nobletech Visual Navigation Suite. There again it doesn’t cost what that
product does either. For me it is fun to have something that
will show me where I am on the chart and isn’t a 4x4 mono display with a
5 year old chart card. You know Larry “I’m a
technology geek” From: Mark, I took a look at this Force9 product web
site. Very interesting. But as I already have a chart plotter
I’m more interested in using software like this to plan out a trip,
mostly plotting distances. Does it do that? Larry Robertie Cheeky Monkey From: The Force 9 product I use is shareware.
http:www.atm-international.com I have not researched it in the last
couple of years so there may be a free product, $35 for this is the right price
for me. Now that it works with the free charts I’m really happy. |
