I would add the request for mouse scroll allowing for zoom functionality.
I'm "playing" with PV on Mac (snow leopard) and enjoying the functionality. I've loaded by raster and vector maps.
I'm rather confused since I currently have both the raster directory and the vector directory active in Chart Manager. Since the maps I am using are of the same area (for the most part) I see the raster has priority over the vector. I was wondering if they could combine or you could "toggle" between the types in a given view as each has its benefits in differnt areas.
an overview window would also be appricated. I noted this in a "for fee" software solution and it was great for moving around the map as well as getting your bearing w/o having to change your current view.
Also, I have not hooked up to GPS and got on my boat but I am curious to how user is sure the maps are sync'd to the GPS system properly. I see when looking at some maps as they connect to smaller maps (cells?) that there seems to be some conflict in how they line up (noted vector). They seem to match at the shoreline but not at the first color contours, maybe I'm just not understanding the science.

Also, I'm curious to the "!" in the triangle and what it means. I don't note this on raster maps, so i'm not sure if it refers to the map or a problem with the map in the software.
I"m going to add to my post (EDIT). I'd love to see a graduated scale on the maps to help an amateur like me! I know there is the 1:xxx,xxx scale but it doesn't give me the right perspective (yet).
thanks.
