Anyone running navigation Software such as Nobeltec or Maptech with the Vista operating system?

I am using the Capn verion 8.319 with Vista for about 3 weeks. I have not had any problems so far.

Thanks Al, Nobeltec has'nt gotten around to supporting it yet and I did'nt see anything about it on Maptech's page. Have a new laptop. Been using Nobeltec for quite a few years and if I have to upgrade, might as well see what else is out there.

No, but I have my boatpc at home on my desk and Vista Ultimate sitting next to it, waiting as you are for somebody's experiences. I hope Nobeltec gets thier support online soon.

I am an avid user of MapTech Off Shore Navigator, and have migrated to VISTA on my latest laptop. Still in testing stages. Had a problem with install being able to open all charts. But MapTech sent me a registration utility program fix that did the job. I am running it in compatability mode as Window XP. I haven't "gone live" with my hand-held gps connected yet or downloaded tracks from it or uploaded waypoints to my Garmin 2010, but I'm guessing it should work now.

Andiamo, Ralph C. and his new Cruisers is my neighbor in my marina. Nice guy. If you are in my area (Juno Beach) stop by and play with Vista and the Capn.

"Compatability Mode"? I like it. Kinda like putting some valves on your engine and a steam boiler in the boot 'cause your hybrid auto in on the blink.

I love upgrades. Spurs the economy.

I've been running Maptech Offshore Navigator for 10 years or more; I'm happy with it. They still support it and upgrade it too. My only complaint is I never could figure out how to persuade it to do Great Circles.
