In case anyone is interested, the price of PolarView is now $12.99 for up to 5 computers. I just installed the 30-day trial with the ENC charts and it is pretty cool. Then I added the ActiveCaptain POI information and it got better. I'm now installing it on the laptop I use for planning and as a backup plotter. Last step will be to buy it and then add weather information. at least today's rain got me off boat maintenance and onto trip planning!
I've been using OpenCPN but I think it's time for a change. PolarView seems to work more smoothly, the ENC charts display more quickly, and the addition of Active Captain POI data is great. I do miss the measuring tool in OpenCPN.
