Fair enough, it was just a guess. I do like the look of the product
though. Saving one the necessity of telephoning a whole bunch of
concerned people each time you touch land. I'm pretty sure I'll get

through the likes of Skip, Lydia, Zac, and anyone else who's out there.

If you have a SSB radio and Pactor modem you can do the same thing via
Sailmail or Winlink. Winlink requires a ham radio license, Sailmail
does not.

Zoom in and point to a red dot for the log entry. I prefer the
satellite view.

Like Roger said, that map is enough to give you a headache... until it's
downloaded all the dots (why does it take so long?!).

I looked at Sailmail, looks complicated, and what sort of range do you
get? Major down-side for both Winlink and Sailmail for me a Windows.
Been using it since version 3, and I will not have it installed on
anything I own. Any software has to be either OS X or Linux/BSD
compatible or I'm not interested.
