Fair enough. It probably is more "independent" of the slightly annoying brand loyalty too. I did use Nobeltec on a PC many years ago. On my current boat I don't have a good situation for a computer nav setup or I would definitely have considered it (not that the OP is interested in my boat, but just saying I didn't rule out PC nav because I don't think it's good).

On the multiple crew (maybe new crew) front: I can see crew picking up easily on a modern chartplotter. It's somewhat iPad-like which many people are used to. Also, I haven't played with this yet, but I think you can make different "identities" sort of like on a computer, or a car where you can set different seat/mirror profiles. So maybe you'd have something simplified for those crew night watches. Or a specific profile at any rate.
