The only downside is the cost of the chart cartridges which, I believe,
exceeds the cost of charts on CD Rom. Not many members of TWL have spoken
up to agree with me, so perhaps I'm alone (with you) in this position.

The problem with dedicated chart plotters is that they usually use
vector charts and not the more favorable raster scan charts. The only
chartplotter I know that uses raster(there may be more) is
Northstar...........and they are extremely expensive. SO that is probably
why you haven't had a parade of supporters.
