RayTech RNS 6.0 Best in Show --- I am confused.
"RayTech RNS 6.0 Navigation Software has been honored with the Best in
Show Award 2006 from the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA)." - Raymarine Web Site. "Raymarine's RayTech RNS 6.0 Navigation Software offers boaters the most comprehensive set of navigation software tools available today." - Raymarine Web Site. Most comprehensive set of navigation software tools available today - Huh? I use 6.0 in combination with my E-80. It's not bad, but award winning, no, can't be. Maybe I am too spoiled with how easy it is to build and play with routes and waypoints in my 2005 version of Garmin's MapSource product line, that I believe that any product missing similiar functionality is far from begin a "comprehensive set of navigation software tools". Also RayTech RNS 6.0 does not allow you to import tracks from your E-80. It is also very difficult to move routes and waypoints between the two products via the memory card, and it's also a pain in the neck to bring the cartography home with me so I can do pre-planning on my home PC and bring the waypoints/routes back to my E-80. I hope Raymarine does not let this award go to their head, there is a lot of things that they can do much better with RNS 6.0 |
