True, Maptech v3.0 and older along with Softcharts (which are also based on
BSB data) run just fine. But the new problem really has nothing to do with
copyrights.

The issue is a new file format delivered from Maptech. In response, Nobeltec
will not invest the R&D $ to change their own program in order to read it.
The same is true with the new NDI charts for Canada.

Hi!
Sadly, Nobeltec's VNS does not run them in it's latest version, 7.0.
Works fine.....BUT...only BSB V3 or lower!!!
Maptechs new BSB V4 format is copyprotected and did not run on ervery
program.
