After conferring with a Gentleman that teaches Advanced Navigation and has personally logged 30,000 miles cruising, I am searching for my best price/option on Coastal Explorer software by Rose Point. As a backup for the Raymarine Chartplotter on the new to us boat, I am wanting to use a Laptop, combined with a Garmin 18x GPS(via USB), and AIS(via Nmea 0183 to a RS-232 to USB Pigtail). I have an older laptop with a 17" monitor(Windows XP), that they say works great with the Coastal Explorer. As I always look for a Cost Effective(I'm Thrify Not Cheap), to find a solution to things - I am looking for a source for an Older Version of Coastal Explorer that can be upgraded to Rose Point's Coastal Explorer 2011. The 2011 is their newest version, but is current to today's charts / updates etc........
So, I was told I should be able to find this OLDER Coastal Explorer out there. That being said, Does anyone have a suggestion as to where, or who may hold this piece to My puzzle.
Thanks,
KIM
