I was in my local marine electronics shop today when one of the salespeople mentioned he was going to a seminar in Vancouver. The presentation covers new software that presents all - or as much as you want and are willing to pay to hook up - of the boat's systems statuses (stati?) on a virtual dashboard on a laptop. I had a very brief look at a screen shot and it was very impressive. I'll try to get and post more info on his return. Cheers, Garrett
