Why havnt you been using mapsource instead of cap'n ? That would give you
a bunch of integration features ....

My Garmin is before the preloaded charts, I did not buy every one. It was
$89 each, there were 8 to buy from NY-FL. The PC charts that are Maptech in
the US, have moderately more detail that the mapsource.
Just looked at a working Garmin 3210, looked good, owner says the radar
overlay is very accurate without a gyro compass, it seems that the GPS
provides the heading, if the boat is moving. Unit was preloaded with US
charts, including Bahamas. Base non detail charts of Carib were actually
pretty good except for harbors.
