GL you wrote: "The Bygrave fills the bill nicely." Maybe you should have a talk with a manufacturer (probably in some part of the world where labor is cheap). Why not make some? Even just in the cel nav enthusiast market, I bet you could sell a thousand of them if the price was right (under $50??). I like your "flat Bygrave" solution very much but it lacks that difficult-to-quantify tactile pleasure that comes from working with a real device. And of course, a "real" Bygrave is something that one can show on a shelf. It's a conversation piece, even if it's never used at sea. -FER --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
