Ah Navimaq is still in the making? It's longtime since I last checked Barcosoft homepage. I wanted a navigation prog fro my Sharp ZAURUS 5500. Unfortunately they dicontinued the great prog when Sharp withdraw it's PDAs from US/EU market.
At first sight Navimaq looks much like GPSNavX.
I haven't tried everything with the overview function (GPSNavX), but this is what I found on this page of the old MAC OS8 version of Navimaq:

Quote:Overview This window shows a thumbnail view of the entire chart section currently open with an icon for the vessel. If the Overview window is active (you can tell by the stars in the title bar) the area being viewed may be changed by dragging the double lined box (magenta in color displays) to the area you wish to view. The Overview also displays a single lined box (green in color display) to show the area that can be printed. Logpoints, Waypoints and Chartmarks can also be viewed on the Overview or the settings can be changed so that they will not be displayed.
I don't know if your version of overview can also show the position of the boat but I see it as a great idea.
