If you are here just to devalue a free product for the point of making a point no need to respond. I posted here to get feedback not to squabble with the boating community. I'm not devaluing something that is already free, but fair enough, although I think you should be less sensitive and more curious. Lame is a reative term, which means some important things are missing or poorly designed. Lame specifically means that for trip planning entering two city/marina names and getting two lats/longs isn't particularly helpful. A straight line isn't going to tell me anything, not even giving me an approximation about duration or how to steer. The planning beta doesn't seem to do much or is broken or the UI is too hard to figure out. The trip check doesn't seem to work, even including the export function to gpx. It's exporting xml. The float plan is minimal information and seems to what the gpx file. The marinas on the west coast of the US are missing in action, and the UI is very slow. You've switched from a drop down list to tabs. Why? The marinas that are listed overlap so much that it's hard to tell which is which. The dive site and shark attack sections has the same basic problems... lack of completeness and difficulty in navigation. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

Richard What link are you going to? http://www.navquest.com Regards, Gaspare I was using (from the first post) Marine Chart Download - http://navquest.com/marinecharts.html This brings up the chart and nav window. Seems to work ok. clicking on the "click here to download NOAA charts" takes me to the charts menu - ok. I was trying (mainly) to D/L 1116A 1 Gulf Coats - Mississippi to Galveston. Clicking on this link give me a 404 with an address of: http://www.navquest.com/noaa/1116A_1.pdf Trying that address in a new window gives the same 404. So I tried the one that you just now supplied (above) - selected menu option for chard D/L and clicked on the chart link. Same problem. 404 I've checked and verified that you are allowed to set cookies and make pop ups. I'm Running Netscape 7.2 on an XP pro machine with access via Verison FIOS. Direct connect - no proxies. No Filters... Does any of that help? Richard |

No argument there. Those charts on a lap top would be worth taking the lap top to sea. But I can't figure out the why of it not finding the files... Richard |
