Also, do you have a recommendion on a nav chart program to use on a
laptop? I have Street Atlas, but it diesn't have water depth.


MaxSea offers some software that they declared as fully compatibile with
NavNet. I DO NOT RECOMEND THIS SOFTWARE. It has problems working on many

new
computers (and old, ofcourse), specialy laptops. I recomend this software
ONLY if you test it before buying it. I mean a test in a real conditions,

on
your boat, and with your equipment.


The latest version of MaxSea apparently also refuses to open virtual com
ports created by the Bluetooth protocol stack. We get reports from some of
our customers who cannot use our BT multiplexers with MaxSea. Also other
commercially available serial-Bluetooth converters don't work. Older
versions of MaxSea do not have this problem.]
