We have been using The Capn with SoftCharts and have found that to be a great combination. We've used them on the rivers (Upper Mississippi, Tennessee), Lake Michigan, GIWW (Mobile to Brownsville) as well as a portion of the Chesapeake & the Potomac. The Capn also works well with the Canadian charts. The 2-Vol Great Loop/Great Circle SoftCharts set is a good value. You may need to add a few charts depending on the route you use.

Have to agree with Rob. The Capn program is easy to use. Chart/route planning is also not a problem. We are also doing the loop next year and will be sticking with "The Capn".
