Here's the direct quote:
"iNavX is a powerful program that can run a variety of charts and do an impressive number of jobs with added modules and a bit of commitment from the user."
I'm assuming that the extra "commitment from the user" implies that it was harder to use especially when it was given a "Good" rating for "Interface" as opposed to Memory-Map which was given an "Excellent" rating.
Thinking about it though, they could have meant that "a bit of commitment from the user" was about the price. iNavx has the highest price of the 3 products listed in their comparison table (and doesn't include tides and currents).
Personally, I think that iNavx would do well to follow Ayetides pricing drops. I think Ayetides originally came out at $19.95 then when down to $14.95 and is now at $9.95. If iNavx were priced at about $19.95, it would sell more and, I think, be properly priced for the features and user-interface.
Oh, and Ayetides needs one more drop to about $4.95 to be properly priced. Even there though, there are some good free tide programs and Navionics includes it for $9.95 with the chart plotter.
Just my opinions. You might not agree. I'll keep discussing it if you'd like. Do you have any questions?
