PC Passage Planner

[Nickel]

A couple of years ago - before my latest Windows reinstall - I had a freeware passage planner. Nothing sophisticated, but it had the whole world on it [not precise geopgraphy] and you could do rough graphical passage plans where it would calculate nautical miles etc. Was a very handy rough first tool. Now I can't find my download, nor find it on the internet.

I'm not talking about Seaclear, Tideplanner, or SailGBchartplanner - does anyone have anything similar, or any ideas as to what it is I should be looking for - thanks.

I'm fairly sure not - though perhaps their version 1 or version beta was briefly freeware? It does look like an interetsing product though, and I'll probably end up getting a licence for that.
Cheers!

Are you talking about this ?

Very simple distance from any worldwide port to any port. Useful for VERY quick rough planning but based on big ships.

Another vote for VPP2. One of the best bits of navving s/w I've bought have used it now for about 10 years and find it just the jobby for both long and short passages. From memory about £50-70.

Yet another VPP vote. I recently clicked on it to use it, and it told me to link on line and get a completly updated version I wish microshaft did the same /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
