Sea Slacker
I've been having a ball playing around with PolarView! I have one suggestion that may be easy to implement. My usual cruising grounds are downeast Maine and the Bay of Fundy with significant magnetic variation (14 to 20 degrees west). PolarView displays courses in degrees True. Would it be possible (once knowing the magnetic variation of an area) to update and display magnetic courses (similar to the ChartBooks we use on the Maine coast)?
