[ActiveCaptain]

You are missing the fact that you are the ONLY one that has posted that course up is needed. Why is it such an issue for you?

Because most people want it and expect it. It's a glaring issue that iNavX doesn't have it proved by the point that every other navigation product for the iPhone and iPad has it, including a $2.99 product.

X-Perverse - Now, that's just childish, doncha think?

Ha! I missed that. It was the iPad that did that. I even re-read it and didn't notice it. I apologize for that typo. X-Traverse is a good attempt at providing a sharing mechanism between products and devices. I've considered supporting it and Robin has asked me about it. I'm not yet sure what the advantages would be today for ActiveCaptain but it is something I'm considering.

Course Up will be supported in iNavX (targeting version 3.02).

There's the money shot! Excellent! I honestly look forward to it.

Next, could you do something about that chart-to-chart panning that I wrote you about offline? Fixing that would make me want to use the product. Quilting is certainly a less needed function and I can live without it.

From a previous posting:
Lastly, you have made a guidebook. It is not navigation software by any stretch of the imagination. Why would anyone who develops and maintains serious, full function marine navigation software be interested in your input? Please don't take that the wrong way...if you were to produce something, perhaps I'd take you seriously.

Actually Bob, I've written 5 commercial navigation products, 2 of which are currently being sold every day now (well, the Palm one has seen sales fallen off). In addition, I've done major user-interface consulting projects for the largest companies producing marine navigation products.

But even without my experience, I'm not a conductor yet I can tell when the symphony isn't playing right. Having a navigation product in today's market without course-up display is like a very badly tuned orchestra playing a piece very poorly. It's sort of obvious.
