Thanks, Marek. I'm pretty busy during
anchoring, since I'm often by myself. I usually just hit the MOB
key when the anchor gets dropped, and after I am sure I am firmly
set, I make a waypoint where the MOB position is and delete the
MOB. I then simply "navigate to waypoint" which gives me a running
graphical and numerical account of the distance from that
waypoint. The boat slowly paints a smile on the chart as it swings
back and forth. I can tell at a glance if the smile starts getting
fat it means the boat is getting further from the mark. It also
shows me if the boat has swung around to a new direction. No
alarm, though. Seems to me it shouldn't be that hard to add an
alarm feature tied to the waypoint that would mark a circle on the
chart that could be made any size you wish. THAT is what I feel
would be a very effective selling feature. Looks like I may be
able to find an app for my android smartphone that will do this.
I'd really prefer to have it in my dedicated chartplotter which
doesn't get moved around on board, or carried to shore.
