OpenCPN for back up chart plotting

End of October - Paradise Village Marina in Puerto Vallarta Mexico 2013

 We have decided to use OpenCPN as our back up chart plotting program. We installed it on our PC with Windows 7 and are using the "hockey puck" GPS that plugs into the USB port. This all works fine at our nav station. A boater friend gave us the maps to Mexico for OpenCPN so we are all set.

 We will still use the Garmin Homeport software to make routs and upload them to the Gamin chart plotter.

 We also signed up for ActiveCaptian (free) which Garmin Homeport also uses.
