Hi,
I've been cruising for the past 6 weeks in BC: the Queen Charlottes and am now on the west coast of Vancouver Island, and found a hot spot...
Been giving MacENC a good run and am very pleased. Two problems, though, as I'm using the Canadian offical raster charts:
1 - How do I find the 'unit's' for a specific chart, especially whether depths are meters or fathoms? Canadian charts vary (not all yet converted to metric) and it's not necessarily obvious. I know how to find this in GPSNavX, but haven't found it in MacENC.
2 - Frequently when zooming, and sometimes while doing other operations, the 'view Raster Chart' option will become deselected, though I waasn't near the menu or the [cmd-R] keys.
3 - several times, particularly if my laptop (a MacBook) has sat for a while untouched, MacENC will freeze. One one occasion I had to reboot the computer to get it free.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
Scot
Blowing 35+ outside the harbor so I'm spending another sunny day in Walter's Cove. It's dead calm inside, and the kids are diving off the dock.
