You completely %100 failed to answer my quesitons.. Nor did I ASK FOR ADVICE (the OP did)!

"what your missing is if you need everything done for you with a chartplotter perhaps you need a bit more experiance"

Where did you even get this idea from my above posts. Please please enlighten me.. Seriously.. I asked a question about a particular piece of software and that was your answer. You attacked my ability to sail and navigate?

I will absolutely defer to your sailing experience IF what you posted is true (I have no way to verify that). However all that experience and alone time seems to have removed your ability to properly interact with other humans in an open forum.

So I will ask again.. I would love to hear why that system is better than what is already on the market (other than you used it and you like it). What features set it above OpenCPN, PolarView, Nimble? Please feel free to answer the question I asked. If you want to insult me or give some strange off topic answer, go ahead, I have thick skin and like to laugh!
