Polar Navy Shut Down

Any Polar Navy users (refugees?) here who would like to start a thread to compare notes? I’m looking at both Aqua Map and OpenCPN. I just installed CPN and, when it asked for a chart directory, pointed it to the one I set up for Polar Navy. Bingo, all the charts showed up in OpenCPN. OpenCPN looks like a great program but Polar Navy has become second nature and does everything I need. Maybe I can just use OpenCPN’s chart download manager to update my charts and continue using Polar Navy for my navigation or while I gradually learn the new one and switch over.



Comments? (Please don’t bother with replies like “I like Navionics”. I know that there are lots of people on the planet who like every navigation program there is. I’m looking for specific knowledge and opinions about migrating out of Polar Navy or continuing to make it work; not recommendations.)


BTW, if anyone knows what happened to PN, I'd love to hear.
