Pricing for Coastal Explorer is not yet set in stone, but I expect it
to be about $300. While this is more expensive than Fugawi's products and The Capn First Mate, it is significantly less expensive than The Capn Voyager, Nobeltec VNS, and RayTech Navigator. Yet Coastal Explorer includes most of the useful features found in the more expensive programs, and even a few that they don't. We feel that Coastal Explorer has the best feature set and the most reasonable price of any navigation software available, especially when you consider that most of your charts will be free in the US!

Interesting, I didn;t know that. Sorry, I've never heard of
Captain Jacks. DOug s/v Callista "spdevel" wrote in message ... So I don't see how Capn is locking one into one particular format that they somehow control. Isn't it common knowledge that the company that owns The Capn also owns Softchart and the online retailer Captain Jacks? Ever wonder why Captain Jacks doesn't sell Maptech charts any longer? |

Brad -
A look at your website shows some interesting features. Supporting a wide variety of charts is the way to go. I expect you'll sell more than a few copies. For myself (I mention this not as criticism but in hopes of getting a feature I need) I won't be buying anything in the future unless it supports Admiralty ARC charts, as well as the ones you listed. Once you get away from North America, they're the gold standard.

FUGAWI Marine ENC supports the S-57 charts, has 10 years of
development behind it and also supports Palm (including Garmin iQue) and Pocket PC. A terrific deal as it also supports BSB, ECW, and DRG chart formats and the user can also scan a paper chart! see www.fugawi.com "Glen \"Wiley\" Wilson" wrote in message ink.net...

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. Steve s/v Good Intentions Greetings all, I am an agent for Fugawi (and Cdn and US electronic charts). In addition to selling the product, I will provide an on line, no cost demo of the products and fee based training (on line or live) on the use of the products, and naivigation. Hope to hear from any of you. Howard Rosenthal 416.617.9966 |
