Some more comments about Jeff's charting software.
The hidden coffee making option does not work and every time I try to
download the steak and lobster dinner I get the cryptic error message
"idiot".
Seriously, I tried to break the download system, by queuing up 3
simultaneous region downloads. The combined total came out at about 500k
per second.
Jeff should make it more obvious that you can share the chart files with
friends since it is just the program that is protected.
I would like a subtotal system where you can select multiple regions and
they will download one after the other, with a grand total size
displayed for the zip and unpacked files, so that you can know in
advance how much space is needed.
By combining the charts into one file, allows for some very nice speed
enhancements. There does not appear to be a track record feature which
would be nice.
The old MARKS from Outdoor Navigator seem to import without too much
difficulty into the new program. I assume the routes will work as well.
The new program loads much faster if you have a lot of charts.
I have not tested the internet access system which appears to be pretty
cool?
