The real magic especially compared to all the stories on TWL about chart costs and quality, is the accessablility, quality, and official status of the NOAA ENC charts. Richard

You should also be aware of the fact that this program is beta-ware, a pre-release version. It is still being tested, and undoubtedly has bugs which they hope to iron out during the testing process. Rely on it for navigation at your own peril! The cost, according to the company's web site when it is released, will be more expensive than Fugawi's ENC version, and comparable to, or slightly less expensive than some of the more well known navigation programs like Capt'n. It will not cost the $10.00 suggested by the original posting.

I received the following from Rosepoint a few weeks ago: Thank you for your interest in Coastal Explorer! We have not set a final price at this time, but expect it to be about $300 when the product becomes available, which will probably be this May. We have recently decided that the final product will also support Windows 2000. I also received an offer to purchase the beta for $10.00. If you would like that info please contact me. This offer was to be added to their web site. Regards, Bob Davis Bob McLeran wrote: > You should also be aware of the fact that this program is beta-ware, a > pre-release version.
