the boat. It is comparable to the professional navigation packages

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

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