Hello All, I just talked to a guy in Nobeltec's sales department about my problems with the Visual Navigation Suite newest versions. You see they won't run under Windows 98SES so I can't use them. I need to run a version 6.x to allow me to avoid sending any more money to Microsoft. \ So here is what I learned today. If somebody wants to sell (or give) me his version 6.x Visual Navigation Suite, CD, manual and all, they DO allow this transfer. The current owner needs to go to the Nobeltec website and download and printout a form, the 'ownership Release' or 'Ownership Transfer' form. He fills it out and faxes it to Nobeltec and they, AT NO COST provide the mechanism to allow me to install and use the program on MY computer!!! How neat is that? So, all you folks out there with a copy of Nobeltec's Visual Navigation Suite, version 6.X, Please let me know what it would take for me to get you to send me your CD and manual. I just can't wait to be able to upload and download waypoints and routes with my two Trimble GPS units!!! :-) :-) Eric Thompson S/V Procrastinator South San Francisco capteric36@sbcglobal.net

I went through that process about 6 weeks ago. Nobeltec makes it quite easy, and you can download the forms from their website. Both parties have to provide basic info and sign off on the transfer. Even more interesting/generous, once it occurs Nobeltec treats it as a brand new sale, and no matter how often the former owner installed it, provides the new owner with three new installs, the same number that comes with a shrink-wrapped kit. I found the people I dealt with unfailingly helpful.
