Makes a great back up to your back up. OR a back up when on someone else boat. (personally I think it is better than some of the older small units installed on some boats I have been on)

For the $ it is unreal and supports my logic that computers should be on boats and you buy software. Buying a "Box" with buttons that has no upgrade path is dumb as it has a fixed lifespan (short)

Jim,

there is a new version which allows you to upload stored waypoints to the internet, so when you upgrade phone you can move all the waypoints! I upgraded phone earlier this year and found out no way to transfer waypoints from one phone to next with the old version (Nav tech support). I now actually have both old/new running on my phone. The "old" to show all my non-movable waypoints and the "new" to remark the location so I can upload/save. The new version is "US East" and I think cost me another $4.95 to download.

Nav maps are definitely better than those loaded on the Garmin small units!
