Sample screenshots:

The main screen view shows the active passage plan, the sector display scrolls to display any leg. High-light a sector to display additional information. The passage plan totals for distance and time are constantly updated as sectors are added/edited or deleted.

The real power of the application is demonstrated by the real-time displays driven by GPS input. Here is the ARC view shows planned track, heading display, waypoints and data displays.

Here the COMPASS view shows all the points of the compass. All the views display in real-time when the palmtop is connected to a GPS via the serial port, or a Compact Flash GPS card is inserted. To visually check your plan before departure, select simulator mode which will run the entire planned passage as if you are actually sailing it.

You can scan in any chart of your own and calibrate it in a few seconds... now your planned passage will be displayed on your moving bitmap. Use the zoom function to display charts of varying resolutions. As you move to different locations the appropiate pre-scanned charts are loaded and displayed as required.
