T&T: Computer Nav software

[Dan Stone]

John

I can tell you what's working well for me, running the fairly new Coastal
Explorer nav program from Rose Point on a laptop.

For a GPS data source I'm using a several year old Garmin, though I also
have one of the cheapo GPS's which have been discussed here.  It does fine,
too.

am now
trying to decide about how to go.

1.	Buy a new dedicated Chart-plotter with all the new chips, e.g.
Garmin,
C-map, etc. or,
2.	Buy software and charts (CDs) for the laptop..

Would really appreciate thoughts, recommendations, advice, both pro & con.
Certainly cost is a factor and value (bang-for-the-buck) is important.

Thanks,
