I am interested in getting comments from recreational boat users on how they use their chart-plotters. The reason for this is I want to suggest some software changes to a marine electronics maker that would make their equipment more user friendly.
Your comments are greatly appreciated and will be used to support my recommendations.
Thanks in advance for helping me compile this data.
Specifically:
1. Do you use the routing feature of your chart-plotter, i.e. do you create a route and then use your chart-plotter to navigate via several waypoints to a destination?
2. Do you have the capability of displaying data on the chart plotter page such as time or distance to the next waypoint, time or distance to destination, depth, etc?
3. If you do have this capability what data do you display on the chart-plotter page? Can you display this data on the page you normally use to navigate, ie the chart plotter page or do you have to go to a different page to display this data?
4. If you use the routing feature of your chart-plotter are there any limits to the number of waypoints than can be used to create your route? If there are limits do you find this an issue you would like corrected?
5. Who manufactures your chart-plotter and what software changes would you recommend? Have you been using your chart-plotter so long that you’ve just gotten used to it but would like to see some changes?
Again thanks in advance, any comments will help me in suggesting upgrades.
