Hi Roger,

I've used my 76c for one season and have been pretty happy with the
BlueChart digital charts and the routing functions. I did notice a
small, frustrating glitch that occurred as a route crossed from one cart
to another. In the Thousand Islands some routes that crossed into
Canadian waters would not display properly. As the boat crossed onto the
next chart area the screen would refresh the the route would then be ok.
I've learned to be a little cautious when transiting across multiple
digital charts.

And I've had numerous problems with my Garmin IQ (running Palm OS)in
Washington DC. The routes are a mess, entire map areas fail to load,
and the GPS signal appears to be degraded. I just assumed that the
signal was scrambled for security reasons. I've stopped using the IQ in
DC, it was too aggravating!

I've been having some very unsatisfactory experiences with the roads routing
features of this GPS using the MetroGuide software. I'm sure hoping the
problems don't translate into similar issues when using it on the boat.

Anybody want to talk about this or know of a discussion group specific to
it?

Anybody had problems with ignored waypoints and strange routing on the water
using Blue Charts?
