Looks like there are a few items you didn't find in the MacENC/GPSNavX help. They are there..
Measure distance between 2 points while connected - not just distance from boat. (To do this I had to disconnect the GPS and close laptop then open back up disconnected.)
Hold down the [command] key before measuring to start from a position other then the real-time GPS position.
Better use of remembering state. On a laptop the screen real estate is precious. I don't want navigation or waypoint windows popping up unexpectedly.
Minimize the waypoints, tracks or route windows and they won't pop-up again. Their window positions are saved and restored up startup and shut down of GPSNavX/MacENC.
Better use of modifier keys so I don't have to explicitly change modes. I prefer to avoid all the mouse clicking - especially on a trackpad.
pressing [Space Bar] will temporarly switch to chart drag mode.
Document file which holds all routes, etc. Now, to move those from desktop to laptop requires an import/export. I'd like to use documents similar to chart manager.
Actually you can copy the appropriate files between Macs..
