Triggered by the above remark I wonder why no company has yet written a
decent navigation package running on Linux.

Because once they made three sales to people who actually use Linux on
their
boat, they'd have 100% of the potential market...

I think many people don't use Linux on their boat *because* there is no
decent nav package.
