Phil,
 We use Rose Point Coastal Explorer software on a standard Dell Inspiron 
laptop. Note this is in
the P/H not on the bridge.
We are most satisfied with the Coastal Explorer software for 
navigation.Their tech support is superlative.
The techy ans all questions and has walked me through sev processes, as I 
told him, I am his job security!!
