I was looking for some info about the supported folios (I've just bought the Imray Northern France one) and was surprised to see no info or links on Precision Navigation website, just a "For further info call us"...
Is it RIP for the Yeoman Plotter?

They are still in business I called them last week as my unit is playing up. I think it needs a new internal battery , but as its an old model they do not have any. Or it might be a new something board, which to replace costs loads of money.....

Oh, my goodness, how sad. He was a really nice guy. It looks like they've been taken over by the Charity & Taylor Group from Lowestoft. Let's hope they keep the Yeoman going...

When John was alive I understood there was one chap worked for him - perhaps part-time - who did the Yeoman stuff and I understood quite a while ago that he was still doing it.
There is a Yeoman one-page website with a phone number - 01473 327813.

The guy who did most of the Yeoman stuff (Dave?) left about 18 months ago, he did some Raymarine Warranty work for me...

Oh that's really sad. Great fan of the Yeoman Plotter though these days it's relegated to a backup role to the plotter and the laptop..

Rather than read more speculation, having posted earlier on this thread with a number that is shown on the Yeoman website, I felt inspired and rang it this morning.
It's the number for Charity and Taylor and I was assured that there is someone there (but not this morning) who works on Yeomans.
So despair not.
I did suggest that they could add a bit more info to their webpage.

What a sensible person you are Dick. That's terrific news for those of us still using a Yeoman. Many thanks.
Santana has a Garmin plotter at the helm which is superb, with AIS/Radar display etc, but on passage we always do an hourly log and mark our position on the chart using the Yeoman, (linked to a separate GPS). Two GPS's being a potential nightmare if for any reason they should disagree, there is always a third one also switched on. Just as well we've got 3 x domestic batteries and an Aerogen!

Not always sensible...
Anyway, your method is similar to mine, but I don't have a third GPS!!
