Hi Rich:

As long as we are looking at the topic of wish list, I can hardly wait for your use of Google Sky.

I imagine Rich linking the heading and location to a view of Google Sky ahead of the boat towards the horizon so that night time cruisers get to learn more about what the ancient Polynesian Navigators used in the manner of near the horizon line steering stars.

If you are wondering what that is all about there are a couple of great books on the subject by David Lewis.

If you can't find those older books using the American Book Exchange

http://www.abebooks.com

or Amazon or your own favorite book search engine try looking at a more recent book the Steve Thomas (former host of This Old House).

Anybody got any ideas on how to use Google Sky with the version of MacENC that we have today while we wait for Rich to enhance the possibilities?
