Recreational boaters are witnessing an explosion of technology aimed at making the PC capable of handling more and more applications on one’s boat. This book describes them all, in a logically organized easy-to-understand format. Readers will learn that with the right digital equipment, they can watch their boat’s progression across a chart while uploading tide and current informations with a simple click of a mouse. They can also download weather maps as well as local satellite photos. Plus, business doesn’t have to stop just because a boater is at sea: faxing, e-mailing and using the internet are all possible. This comprehensive overview comes with a CD-ROM containing demo software showing the vast range of possibilities. Written with the computer novice in mind, this handy guide is perfect for those more interested in boating than computing.
