Garmin, Lowrance & Laptop

I use SeaClear II occasionally and it is truly a wonderful donation to the public domain. SeaClear is best when used with a mouse with a scroll wheel, otherwise the zooming and panning control are a little hard to get used to. If I were going to buy a navigation software today without any regard for the cost I would purchase Coastal Explorer: http://rosepointnav.com/CoastalExplorer/Version1_1.htm I've tried it in the trial version and really found it to be a well designed product: http://rosepointnav.com/CoastalExplo...al/default.htm There are some limitations on the trial version but they are reasonable enough to let you get a full, although brief, trial of all the features. Both SeaClear II and Coastal Navigator will use the free NOAA raster charts. Coastal Navigator will also use the also free (but fewer in number) S-57 vector charts and raster and vector charts from several commercial sources.
