Straffo, I deal with the French on a weekly basis, and will be going to France probably next year.  Might have to look you up if your near Paris !


Those keyboard were so funny looking that I was pretty sure it was used for educate monkey ;)

Concerning your trip in France I'm one hour  from Paris in train and your welcome home when you want ! (provided you survive the Parisian ;))

Contact me as soon as you have a time frame for your visit so we can plan a trip to Normandie beach (I'm pretty sure you will be interrested ;))

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.

For charts where you sail, check http://www.softcharts.com or for Canadien charts, check our site (http://www.thecapn.com/charts.htm)

Well ... almost :)

My accent is terrrrrribbbllllle but you should be used to this ;)
In fact I write english better than I speak it mostly because of lack of training but if you're ready to speak slowly there should be not problem for me :D
