I am a long time user of GPSNavX, in fact I believe version 1 is still in my"Old GPSNavX" folder. I just today joined this Forum. Reading this topic(MacENC) has given me some amusement. I've been navigating electronically for about 20 years starting with version 1 of NavimaQ and various PC apps using Virtual PC, with varying degrees of success. Not one of the PC apps cost less than $250. NavimaQ was, if I remember correctly about $100 many years ago. I can't imagine why anyone would expect
MacENC to be marketed for less than currently offered. NavimaQ is gone mainly because the developer got bored and wasn't making any money. I would hate to see GPSNavX/MacENC disappear for the same reasons. At$100, MacENC is a steal, I for one, would have no problem with a price point double that. I just completed a Trans Atlantic delivery aboard a 37 foot sloop using GPSNavX exclusively with complete success. If MacENC is as good as GPSNavX, I think it will start to give the full-blown PC apps a run for their money.
