I live in Canada and plan to take my cat down the intracoastal to Florida and the Bahamas. Hopefully the boat will eventually end up in the Western Caribbean.
I have no experience or knowledge of electronic charts but have always used macs.
I have the paper charts I need for now, and an old handheld garmin that goes everywhere with me. I have an older powerbook which I'm guessing may not be up to the job.
Which would be best for me----GPSNavX or MacENC?
Where do I get the charts---are they expensive?
What GPS is recommended?
What other bits and pieces would I need?
I think I've got a hint of some of the answers by browsing your site but time is running out if I'm to get the show on the water.
many thanks Tom
