Default AIS hardware and software

Strange, the Rosepoint Coastal
Explorer is almost identical to the Maptec Offshore Navigator Pro.


Uh, not quite. Rosepoint makes Coastal Explorer. MapTech 'private
labels' this and resells it as Chart Navigator Pro along with a BUNCH of
charts. Offshore Navigator was an entirely different piece of software
from Maptech. I've used all of them.

Maptech's version includes nearly their entire US waters charts,
including pictures, topo, raster, vector, 3D and more.

The real neat thing is it is about $200.00 cheaper.


Defender.com has it pretty cheap at $375. Hard to beat getting both the
software AND the charts for that price.
