RE: PC Navigation Again

Now back to PC based plotters.
I have been thru a few systems over the years.
Started in 1994 with an Aussie made system called C-Plot, this was a good syhstem with a dedicated keyboard but at that stage their own digitised charts.
Changed over to Tsunami a few years later, and this has been my favourite.
Some years ago changed to nobeltec VNS as Transtas support for Tsunami appeared to drop off.

Change up with Nobelyec to their C map charts when the Jeppsen/ Bowing thinghy happened.
It would now appear that Nobeltec is having a complete change with their system and I am now in a bit of a quandry to which way I will jump. Stay with Nobeltec or have another change.

C-Plot is still there and now supports raster and C Map charts, some of the free ones are no good in Aus as they don'y have any charts, Sea Max may be good but havn,t completed the free trial yet.

What are other guys using in the higher end type PC based plotters.
