I know many of you use either Coastal Explorer or Polar View in addition to your dedicated chartplotter program.
i would like to hear your opinions on Coastal Explorer versus Polar View.
My issue at that point is that I am very comfortable with PV and with the new version out in the last few months, they seem to have added a ton of senselessness and usability.
I did download the 10 day trial version of Coastal Explorer and then didn't try to use it for two weeks
OK. So my question is, whether it will be worth my while to pay for the full CE and learn how to use it?? The two main criteria:
1. Ease of Use
2. Availability of world wide charts
IF they both have the same usability, for me meaning being about to fully integrate all data sources, then the cost of charts becomes the primary issue and in fact, as I write this, i realize that is what has prompted me to look at CE in the first place, it doesn't seem that the charts available from PV come in affordable packages.
Thoughts?
