I have a number of ship captains with boats looking for software to load on their laptops to help make trips more easy and safe

If any of your people use a Skymate satellite, they have access to Skymate tracking and email software... I believe Thrane and Thrane has their own software too...

I used to do a lot on boats (brother in law and all his friends are a commercial fishermen) but haven't been out to a boat in a few years unfortunately. I used to have a backup of some of his software but it's long since lost. I'll see if he can tell me what he's got on his rig...

Use to work on this software, but that has been many moons ago.. But, definitely a good software package.

Joseph Leos dad had a yacht once. Maybe he might have some insight to what might be best to use.

Imho nobeltec has been bloatware since ver 7. Although the new cmap regions are great. I've been recommending rosepoint nav for the past few years.
