Needs a lot of work on usability
The designer of this software made some rather inexplicable decisions that make it much less intuitive to use. Some suggestions for improvement:
1. Let the user download chart KITS not individual charts. By requiring me to download individual charts I am almost guaranteed to find myself in a tiny, complicated harbor without the local chart and no cell signal.
2. Use the current map focal point to load the local chart rather than loading based on my current location. Sometimes I like to see the map of where Im going BEFORE I get there (and I do not want to have to dig the chart up by name when Im trying to steer a boat).
3. Add "use map" to the "add waypoints" screen. Does anyone really enter waypoints by manually entering lat/long coordinates??? Kind of impossible without a paper chart for reference!
As it is right now this software is kind of useless for anything but simple day sailing where you will only traverse 2 or 3 charts in one day.
