I had not seen this posted anywhere, but I did find it on the

Hello.
On August 29, 2008,
Maptech, inc., makers of
navigation products for
marine, land, and aerial use officially shut its doors after nearly 20 years of business. This has been a very hard and stressful time for its 75+ employees. We worked together as a
family for many years and we were all saddened to see it close.
Fortunately, nearly all of Maptech's products (and many of its employees) have found new homes. While I may not be able to respond to your specific
email request, please allow me to direct you to the folks that may be able to assist you.
Maptech's Land
Navigation division, including products such as Terrain Navigator and Terrain Navigator Pro, as well as the popular online Mapserver, has been purchased by mytopo.com. We have also reached agreement to continue to host the historical USGS map collection. For technical support for these products, please
email us at 'support@mytopo.com' or call 406-294-9994. Sales inquiries may be directed to 800-627-7236. Web site:

Cruising Guides, and Companion CDs (featuring
Offshore Navigator Lite and included with most ChartKits and Chartbooks) are now serviced by Richardsons'
Charts. They can be reached at 800-873-4057 or 508-990-9020. Web site:

Maptech's digital
marine offerings, including
Offshore Navigator, Chart Navigator, and Chart Navigator Pro are serviced by KPM Marine. Reach them at 978-834-9953 for technical assistance or 978-834-9950 for sales inquires. KPM Marine also maintains a limited inventory of
parts and
cables for Maptech's
Sea Ray Navigator and i3 Touch
Screen Navigation Systems.
Finally, Pocket Navigator has been discontinued. However, you may be able to get limited
