SeaClear, Maptech, ".cap" and ".kap"
      15/05/2008 17:35

Friends,

Am I right in thinking that Maptech charts with ".cap" files are encrypted and not usable by SeaClear? The demo charts ".kap" files seem to work for me but not the ones I've bought, which have ".cap" files.

I had a moment of optimism when I read that SeaClear could read Maptech BSB charts - of which I have many. I use Offshore Navigator, but would like a system which would give me the ability to display AIS info. Unfortunately, even were I prepared to pay the price, Maptech's current offering, Chart Navigator Pro, makes such a pigs ear of tidal displays that I'm not prepared to buy it.
