I understand about the ENCs - The last time I looked at MaxSea they had the same issue with the ENCs. However, it would still be useful to zoom out with the rasters, similar to GPSNavX. I find it useful when plotting a longer course to be able to see the whole thing. I.e. - sailing from SFO to Hawaii, making sure you're actually either plotting the rumb line or the southing around the North Pac High you want. Sailing to the South Pacific, without doing so you could really be taking an inefficient route and not realize it.
You can do this with GPSNavX, but it seems silly and inefficient to have to switch between the two to make and view your route.
I do understand the both products were made for and primarily used by sailors not making such long passages, and thus don't necessarily need such a broad view, but a few added features such as this I would think could expand your market.
