Free Chart Plotter / Navigation Software
 
I have this installed on most of my PCs including the two laptops on
the boat. It is comparable to the professional navigation packages
that cost hundreds of dollars. Charts are free for downloading from
the NOAA web site:

Wayne thanks for posting that. I see it's available for Windows XP. I might have to dig up the wife's old laptop and put it in there...

That is some cool looking software. I think I'll download it just to play with it for now. Thanks.

It's great for arm chair cruising in the off-season. A lot of our
boat trips have started out that way. I also use the AIS display
features to keep track of boating activity in this area.

I'll give it a shot. Sure doesn't take much room.
