T&T: Computer Nav software

[Robert Meyer]

Hi John,

We have used NavPak Pro with C-map charts for the last
5 years and have been extremely pleased.  We have this
loaded on our Dell Laptop (which we use for Internet
(Weather/e-mail/area info/etc) (Verizon Air
Card)/logs/etc)  Our cruising grounds are the Great
Lakes.  Here is a link to their website.
