(the price of lunch) IF YOU LIKE IT, to fund an otherwise free program's R&D, support, marketing and business overhead? Yet you said you'd pay to have two of something that costs $600 to buy and is out of date from the moment you buy it?

That makes no sense to me!

        ... and smart phones cutting into car GPS sales too
  - Try Skipper, it's REALLY slick
    - One sailors review or rating can have little value, agreed.
      - Some of us still use paper charts...
        
        Paper Charts
        Exactly
    - Follow-up: I'm not so keen on Skipper today
