What does this do?


"GPS Option for Chart Plotter Functionality
GooPs Pro GPS Software Download (PC Only) $19.95"


I don't know. *I just found the website and wanted to know if anyone he
re
had used this company's products.


That probably adds GPS data to the PC on PCs that won't talk to NMEA


It has added features over free GooPs.


I bought their stuff and I'm going to try out their charting system on
my trip from New Buffalo Mich. To Marco Island FL.


I upgraded to GooPs pro as well.

I will. In fact if I can get it all to work you may be able to "ride
along" via video link.

Got the EarthNC and GooPs up and running. Pretty good stuff. Will not
take the place of a real plotter (and the company agrees) but close.
Lots of detail though.

Should have video and tracking up and running for the trip.
