Now I can see possibilities with navigation programmes for this laptop. The fact it does not use Microsoft may be a limiting factor but the power requirements would suit minimal yachts.

This has been on the horizon for some time now, if they were to be come available to the general public it may spur some marine software producers to adapt existing programs to the linux OS, which would suit me as my laptop is currently running on Ubuntu anyway.
