FUGAWI
MARINE ENC OR GLOBAL NAVIGATOR?
Q: "I want to use Fugawi on the road in
Canada as well as on the water. Should I buy Fugawi
Marine ENC or Fugawi Global Navigator?"
A: "Both software programs come with the
Canadian digital street maps in their bonus data packs
so are suitable for land navigation in Canada. Fugawi
Marine ENC is a superior product for boaters: it offers
AIS support, weather overlay functionality with free
included US NOAA charts (complete US coastal water coverage),
& optional Navionics support; in the future, new marine
industry focused features will only be added to Marine
ENC. Fugawi Global Navigator
is a viable product for Marine Industry customers in
Canada as long as their needs are very basic and they
are not planning to go into US waters: it is suitable
for those who use NDI charts
and/or scan their own paper charts." |
