Interested in hearing feedback.
Installed v 1.2 today on the Mac mini, 1.42 Ghz, 1 GB RAM. So far it's only installed onshore, and I hope to have the setup aboard this week for a trial run. The most obvious thing is that with 4 cells loaded (Casco Bay A & B, Portland Harbor A & B) basic operations (zoom in, etc) seem to give me the spinning beach ball every time before completing; very slow. Reducing the display to a single cell loaded improves the zoom a LOT. Likely it's not intended to have many open at once, though that might be sueful for route planning?
No other apps running. I don't know if this is normal for a mini with this app. The detail is good, though as we know, it bears no resemblance to Maptech raster scanned charts at all, especially with respect to terrestrial features and contours.
Anyone else using it so far?
