Well, the list is titled "MacENC & GPSNavX", so I'm not sure how appropriate introducing a discussion re: traditional paper charting methods really is....
Having said that, migrating those methods over to electronic navigation is completely appropriate. MacENC/GPSNavX have a fairly primitive "Annotation" tool. With it, one can draw a boundary around objects, put an "X" on a spot, draw a kinda straight line, etc. Perhaps Rich would entertain suggestions as to what improvements users would like to see in the annotation tool. Being able to draw a box or a circle could be very helpful. Of course, the size would have to be speced in yards/meters.
Coomkeen, are you using MacENC or GPSNavX?
