Hi tried the app for some minutes.
So I welcome the idea of such an application on the Mac.
So far I've noticed these missing features:
I installed it on my iMac 24" (Intel) OS X 10.5.6
- the About Menu doesn't work, window pops up and disappears at once
- in the menus the COMMAND Key isn't shown
- S63 ENC charts (those that do need a permission code) don't load
- I tried S57 ENC charts (the one that are free) of the Netherlands seaways: this time it worked, but loading all charts (many files does crash PolarView)
- I would like to have ZOOM IN / ZOOM OUT on the scrollball of my mouse
- the chart manager doesn't remember the last selection
- the info Window should be there from the start
- it would be interesting to have the name of the ENC chart displayed somewhere.
I think PolarView goes in the right direction. It's still beta but I think will get some more features.
Regards,
Manou
