Can you integrate several Sensors?. Can it take into account advance and
transfer using ROT? Can you overlay a radar image on it? Can you incorporate
ARPA targets? Can it display a vessel in heads up or north up mode? How many
AIS targets and how much info will it provide?

How useful is it? Every chart plotter out there can take a gps input and plop
you on a chart. Its the periphials(Spelling?) that sell the software. The
more info available to the skipper makes them more capable to make a informed
decision when it counts. What are you comparing this software to? It really
looks to me like it is very basic in its design. Send it to me and I will tell
you what is really needed in it?

I don't design software. I install it for ships and yachts. I am the one
they call in the middle of the night when the @*?/ is hitting the fan. I have
seen a lot of great concept software, but when push came to shove the support
wasn't there and reliability was horrible. The web site says no phone support.
Only email support. I don't know many captains jumping on their email when
they can't view thier chart plotter. There are only 2 companies out there now,
that I have seen stand behind there product and really make it work (Names to
follow if asked).

Sorry for the rant guys but this stuff is a very important decision an owner/
captain has to make. The type of plotter they use can sink and swim someone if
it is not done right. If a plotter is not set up correctly or fails at a
crucial moment then whats the use. You dont use a plotter on a nice sunny
day. You use it when you are lost, tired, or in bad weather.

Just a few of my thoughts Take them or leave them.
