Default Copying computer CD Charts into a chartplotter

What ? Just upgraded the software (sparetime during christmas) to 6.9. Used
to run 6.5

It's a *must* to have both running simultanous.

Just attached my spare gps (etrex) and realised that you are right something
changed. How do you then get the cursor on the PC ?? or: how do you turn off
the screen on the Garmin device ?

*tip* if you do buy "Blue Charts" try to find a copy of Map source
version 6.5 The later versions have dropped the ability to display
and track your vessel simultaneously on the GPS unit AND a laptop when
connected via a USB or 232. That's a bonus for me and my boats
layout.. 276c in the cockpit, laptop below. Otherwise the map Source
program is good and easy to use.
