Coastal Explorer Trial

PLEASE NOTE: The Coastal Explorer Trial represents our Coastal Explorer 1.1 product. We expect to have a Coastal Explorer 2009 Trial available soon.

Overview

The Coastal Explorer Trial software lets you try the product out on your boat before making a purchase decision. The trial version of Coastal Explorer is almost fully operational, but has the following limitations:

• The NMEA 0183 (GPS, Autopilot, etc.) interface will work for only 15 minutes after starting the program.
• No charts are included in the download, but you can download charts separately.
• Most states are not included in the gazetteer, but can be downloaded separately.
• Only a few Guide Books are included, but you can downloaded more separately.
• The background world map has less detail than the full version.
