Default Voyage Planning Software
A friend emailed me today asking what software most people use to do their vayage planning. Last time I did a major new Voyage Plan I used Waypoint For Windows but there must be a better solution.

Any ideas for him?

Don't a lot of ships just use their ECDIS software now? The last ship I was on was paperless, so we didn't plot anything, and the voyage planning (waypoints, courses, etc.) was all done on the ECDIS.

Hi John,
I've done a couple with the TRANSAS ECDIS - it's pretty good.

Our ECDIS was Kelvin Hughes...it was alright - I like the TRANSAS system better - easier to use, more user friendly, better controls with the TRANSAS.
