Anybody have or seen the new Garmin 545 GPS chartplotter? Impressive.
With the "Vision" chip, it overlays satellite images onto the charts, plus
will automatically generate a route to any destination, similar to the car
GPS systems, but taking into account your boat's specific criteria such as
draft and height.


Haven't seen one yet, but Mapquest software has been doing that for a
while now. I've seen that technology - it's pretty impressive.


Ummmm - make that Maptech.
