navigating inland Holland is not exactly "Trying" is itBeen using pc-navigo in the Netherlands for the past two weeks - excellent!
But:
- suggest you have it attached to a GPS of one or another description so that actual position is shown on the chart at all times. I purchased the USB version advertised on their website and it works very well indeed, even inside a steel cruiser.
- as far as I have been able to ascertain, it does not give the bridge/lock numbers as per the ANWB Almanak Vol II which would be nice as a cross reference. But they might be there somewhere.
- you need good screen resolution if it is to be used in sunlight.
SWAMBO prefers the ANWB charts for some reason but when it gets tight, the zoom in/out facility and 'one click' point of route info facility is brilliant. Also, for daily trip planning, it beats the charts hands down especially as there are daily 'stoppage' downloads.
Recommended.
