I think I'll stick with info that's been vetted by professionals and/or created by companies' whose continued existence is predecated (sp) on accuracy.

An excellent debate point!

Not really trying to make a debate point, just stating a personal preference.

So you're saying that you'd rather have the point of view of a single editor about a boating location than a group of people who have been to the location?

Absolutely not, just the opposite. I like redundancy, remember? You called this topic, "No reason to buy another guidebook"...

Now part of your response has a hidden message to me about the re-review I just entered for iNavX.

uh, No? I was just using it as an example of this type of system's drawbacks. Believe me, I don't really think I need to send any "hidden messages" to you.

I know you think I'm biased against iNavX. It really isn't true. I'm critical of hard-to-use products. I raise specific issues and problems that I encounter and I even offer to help fix or test them.

You're kidding, right? I don't think you're biased against iNavX per se, I think you're biased against anything non Active Captain. Evidently other members of this forum think so too. And again, just because it is "hard-to-use" for you doesn't mean it is so for others. If you look at the sales comparisons for iNavX and other nav apps, many seem to have "overcome" what is an issue for you.

Lastly, you have made a guidebook. It is not navigation software by any stretch of the imagination. Why would anyone who develops and maintains serious, full function marine navigation software be interested in your input? Please don't take that the wrong way...if you were to produce something, perhaps I'd take you seriously.
