Depends on what you want to use it for. This guide you use with a hand held pocket pc I believe. Dont thnk you can use river charts in it if you wan tot use it for fishing

If you are buying this for use in your boat, by the time you buy a pocket pc and the gps unit, you might better invest in a chart plotter that will accept naviation chart chips. I bought this one last year and I have been very satisfied with it.

Had trouble signing in, used wrong nick, forgot what i used to sign up with. If you have any questions regarding gps units, let me know. I am a surveyor by trade and have had experience with them in different situations.

Hi There,
Does blue charts support editing on the pc? With the navman product I can view the complete map on my pc and add waypoints,tracks routes etc.

Here's the outfit I am thinking of. So far it's the most cost effective way to get a chart plotter ( These are canadian prices)

Well, I think that you can load them in PC but I am not 100 percent sure. But, for the kind of money you are spending, it does not look to me like you are getting a package comparable to some of the already available Chartplotters like the various Garmin and Lowerance models.

Not sure where you are located, but if you visit a West Marine store in your area, we have one here in Northern New York, you can see hands on some of these models.

Well, that's the difference LOL!
I am in canada and for a decent chartplotter I am looking at 2000 + the cost of charts + 15% taxes LOL!
