But, with the GPS plotter, at least you know absolutely **where* you went 
aground.

Roger... There is no "theirs"; Sea Clear" is a program written by a 
Scandahoovian for his own use, and later, the world's use. There's even a 
Hebrew version for those interested.
You can download it at  http://www.sping.com/seaclear/  , being 
non-commercial, the documentation is not too intuitive, but it's plug & 
play.  Download your preferred charts from the site Jim recommended.

I believe any GPS that outputs standard NMEA in a serial or USB/serial form 
will work. All my (many) GPS's do.

Cheers,
Bob
