I am interested in this program. I had the trial version a couple of years ago and thought it was quite good but never purchased the licence.
Is it worth it? Anything better?

I use the Neptune Planner app on my android phone which has proven itself very useful as it has tidal data built in.

It’s an outstandingly simple product to use and has been my go to passage planning tool for decades. In a few keystrokes it gives you passage time, best time to leave based on tides, course to steer for passage legs and a lot more. I wish them a very happy retirement.

Out of interest what alternatives do forumites use as I may need another product as my ancient computers start to die

Memory Map Works on Windows at home for planning, IOS and Android tablets. Overlays AIS easily enough.

A real shame - I started as a beta tester and the program on Android had really evolved into a dependable planning package with tides and charts at reasonable subscription prices.

I use NavigationPLANNER 7 - Course planning software - NavigationPLANNER on my PC. It’s a bit slow and clunky, doesn’t do auto routing, but it does know about tidal streams/dates. If you create a route by adding waypoints then yiu can set the date you want to start and your average speed over the water and it runs the route departing every hour of the day with leg and overall times taking into account tidal streams. Mine came free with a Navionics Gold card I bought about 10years ago. Oh, and you can export routes and waypoints to a memory card and import them into Raymarine and B&G plotters.

It’s a pity somebody can’t buy the rights to continue it……..
