Default PC Navigation Software

The only one I don't recall seeing in this thread is the one used by the
Coast Guard, the Cap'n.

What's the opinion on that program compared to the others which have been
getting lots of discussion?

Been looking at PC Navigation Software. Looked at Chart Navigator
Pro by MapTech, the Ozi one, Fugawi and others.

I sure would appreciate users input on what they use, and what they
like and don't like about it.

Thanks!

If you have little time for learning, and want few functions other than
the
basics, go with Maptech

But if you want a really highly-functional nav. system which can be
self-maintained and upgraded regularly, and you are patient with the
learning process, there is nothing to touch Oziexplorer.

BTW, I have used 3 or 4 different systems over the past 6-7 years, 2 of
them
high grade vector systems, and Ozi is king.
