I’ve been using this for 3 or 3 years now on two different cruising sailboats in Lake Superior, the Caribbean, and Pacific. It works great! Easy to setup and use and reliable.

This is the second year that I have been using this program. I find the ability to set variable distances most helpful as well as incorporating the distance to the anchor excellent. Great job with this program.
