Yeah, you can put a lot of functionality in 100,000 lines of program code. So far I have found OpenCPN most useful for pre-plotting routes. I print the region of the chart containing one or two routes along with the waypoints and put the pages in a vinyl sheet protector. Navigation in SoCal waters isn't as "intense" as it is in other areas, so I don't have much use for the fancy stuff.
Glad I could help. If you have questions I can try to answer them, but given my limited use of the program you're probably better off posting the questions on Cruiser Forum.
