"The benchmark for all others. Full color. Anchorages included. For navigation. The best."

"This is by far the single most comprehensive set of charts available from any source."

"The new ChartKits have waypoints galore. We didn't count them, but they cover all the popular islands, cays, cuts, passages, and anchorages."

"Over the years I have worked with numerous electronic charting programs similar to Maptech's [Companion CD]. Many had capabilities far in excess of my requirements, and came at a price that would deter many boaters looking to explore electronic charting.

In my opinion, Maptech has succeeded in placing the advantages of electronic navigation within the grasp of the average boater. The program is easy to load and use without reviewing volumes of documentation or wondering why none was provided."

"Most plotters have small screens. In my opinion using the electronic plotter without a paper back-up---especially large, easy to read paper charts like the ones in the Maptech ChartKits and Waterproof chartbooks---is poor navigation practice.

This is especially true when the navigator wants to look ahead a distance, an action that with a chart plotter deprives him of information about what is immediately ahead."
