Our NN3D MFD and computer versions seem to take about the same amount of time to boot up.

It is actually MaxSea that is keeping me with Furuno; if I had to replace my all-Furuno environment, I'd likely go Garmin or all PC.


I checked my systems after my earlier post, and I meant to comment further about running MaxSea on "decent" computers. Nothing special. 8-GB RAM, 64-bit Win7 versions on each. Redraw and scrolling and so forth is immediate.
