Strange, the Rosepoint Coastal

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.

Ahoy Bill,
If you would check The Rose Point Program, it includes all the U.S.
Charts not some of them and the URL I posted has a deal for an AIS
reciever to boot. Take that to Defender.
With the information you provided I doubt you have used them all. I
have played with a number of charting programs but I have not used
them all. Then again I leave the dock onec in awhile.
