NAVIGATION

NOAA -National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration - Free charts to download - never pay for charts again - Your Taxes really do benefit you in this one.

NOBELTEC - Navigation software that interfaces with most autopilots and one of the first companies in the business - I have personally used their products since 1991.

Fugawi - Like the old joke "Where are we?" this is a newcomer on the stage of navigation software but is the least expensive and can do the job, perhaps not with all the bells and whistles, but sufficient for the job.  Give it a try!
