What charting data does it use? I tend to boat around the Queen Charlottes once every two years and always end up hating crappy charts (have my own modified ones for where I have been). Does the software allow you to modify any errors you find in it's data?
Yes, plug a GPS capable of outputting NMEA 0183 data into your serial port and we'll show your location on a NOAA chart, and if the 3D option has been purchased, and you have the 3D charts/data, we show the bathymetric info as well.
There is no real way to modify the chart info, as we are merely showing your position on a pre-existing chart. However vector charts (charts created by the computer from data points then rendered) are coming soon. Our military version does this with the DNC stuff.
