Default Importing raster maps into Maptech....


If you are saying you prefer Maptech to Oziexplorer, you must be nuts!

Dennis.



You didn't answer to my question, but...... yes.

I like Maptech Chart Navigator Pro better:
- AWESOME, clean, neat and compliant user interface. Ozi's a mess of
buttons, ugly, developed with prehistoric devtool.... Delphi?
- AWESOME "cruise mode"; it looks like proper on board marine chart plotter
- Intuitive. Can't say the same with Ozi. To understand how Ozi works I had
to go through the manual. Never done such a thing with Chart Navigator Pro
- Use mouse wheel and +/- keys to zoom. Ozi uses page/down/up...... CRAP!
- Automatically change maps at smaller/larger scales. Don't know if Ozi can
do that.....
- Perfectly usable routes/waypoints data/lists

For me that's fair enough, that's what I need from a marine navigation
software......

The only BIG regret about Maptech, is it's inability to import raster maps
and calibrate. Ozi does. But can't save in BSB format.

Now you go explaining why you prefer Ozi
