I'm in chock .... That will "freeze" me on 6.5. I probably have to look at alternatives. Having everything i one piece of software is the whole trick with mapsource. /Bjarke "Spammy Spamson" wrote in message ... snip You DON'T get the cursor on the PC with mapsource above version 6.5. To do that you have to use "NRoute" which is geared more to navigating on highways. (blechhhh) snip Download Garmin Tracking Enabler from the ftp site at http://garmincity.dyndns.org/ and you should be OK even with the latest versions. |

With NOAA giving away "Official" official charts for free and updating them regularly, it would seem that there is a business opportunity for someone to build a chart plotter that the end user could use the NOAA charts with. The current manufactures have no interest in this as they all either produce or have exclusive relations with electronic chat makers. I currently use both a chart plotter and my laptop with navigation software that can use both the raster and vector NOAA charts. If it existed I would purchase a chart plotter that could use the NOAA charts. I believe the dedicated chart plotter is more reliable, more rugged, and probably more water proof than my laptop. Bottom line I feel that the time has come for a chart plotter that could use NOAA charts is here. I am willing to beta test such a unit for anyone already working this problem. E-mail me individually for my electronic, cartographic, and navigation experience. I am retired and have the time to donate to this endeavor Pat Harman Don't imagine any of the current manufacturers of chart plotters would be interested since it's the software where they make their money. |

I have the same problem with http://garmincity.dyndns.org. The "Site is down" and I can't register either. Can someone help me as well? You can probably guess that it's someone's home PC as they're using dyndns to map their IP address. Wait until the holiday is over with. -- Geoff |

If the subject is as stated, joining this forum will not help you. Unless the chartplotter's software is on CD-Rom, a memory card, or a hard drive, you are wasting your time. |
