Default Fugawi 3.x.x V. The Crapn

I have been using Fugawi for six years.I boat in the Hudson River,Lake
Ontario and Rhode Island sound.I use the program with my laptop and about a
year ago started using a Pocket Pc .The pocket Pc is the way to go for
me.Color,nice brightness,compact and can be loaded with BSB charts in all
their glory.I have also downloaded the new free ENC charts for all my
boating areas and they work fine on the IPAQ 3650 Pocket Pc.

I've been a contented user of The Capn since ver. 4.3 up to 6.1 (upgrading
each time the card comes).

However, the latest upgrade would require that I move to a more power full
laptop computer (I suspect, because of the Mosaic crap and SoftCharts).

Now
I'm finding it difficult to get product support for Capn Voyager.

Rather than spend the $49 for an upgrade that I can't use (recent marked

dwn
special), I'm considering crossing over to Fugawi 3 for $99.

I looked over the Demo and read about all the features and conclude that
although it isn't as 'slick' as The Capn, it is more flexible (in chart
formats), more capable and user friendly.. It also can be used with the
street/highway (land based) map data bases. Allows you to scan and

register
your own charts. The list goes on, while the basic navigation program

seems
simple and user friendly..

With an upgrade, I could also be using the ENC vector charts.

So, Why am I here?? I would like the hear from others who might have been
exposed to either Fugawi and/or The Capn.

Thanks for any comments on actual usage.
