I totally agree with you - the Companion is a little too much "less" than it should be.
I was faced with a difficult objective - we didn't want the Companion to compete against the other licensed developer products (Garmin, C-Map, Coastal Explorer, etc). I think we went a little too far in...
Go to the Help card too. There's info there about everything that's available. If you get stuck, write to support@activecaptain.com or leave a comment on the website. There's also a previous newsletter section called "Measuring a Path" that describes a little more about route creation from a...
In your attempt to discredit ActiveCaptain on this thread, you might have read the entire thread to see that I've made multiple postings on it.
We receive about a hundred emails a day from our current 130,000 users. About 30% of them are questions about ActiveCaptain. About 30% are questions...
Hey, I started out by saying that Gary wasn't treated right. Rose Point made a mistake, period. They honestly want to do the right thing - but in this case, they blew it.
By the way Gary, the MaxSea licensing system allows you to install the software on 3 different computers (they don't...
Pardon me for jumping in - this thread hit too many keywords that we track and I just got a notice about it.
First, if you're a cruising boater and have problems with just about any software product, especially one that supports ActiveCaptain, write to us. We'll help. I know the owners and...
You won't have any problems finding a place to stay this season.
One really interesting place that we found while waiting for one of the bridges to open is Top Rack. It's north of the Great Bridge lock. They have the best fuel prices anywhere around - call and you'll see. So we pulled in...
Route importing, archiving, sharing, and exporting to other software and devices is most certainly coming in ActiveCaptain. It's all I'm working on right now. Everything but sharing will be out in the first wave. I'm collecting feedback on sharing issues now (share all routes, share some...
It's all running now (Sunday morning). We were hacked pretty badly 2 weeks ago. We had started massive backups running along with logging. The backups went back to normal last night. Something with that made a hiccup and the database server stopped.
We're watching it pretty carefully -...
There are so many things happening I don't know where to begin...
The major thing I've been working on over the last year is getting our data spread out to other applications. We now have integration released or soon-to-be-released with Coastal Explorer, MaxSea Time Zero, Nobeltec, as well...
My name is Jeffrey Siegel - I'm the developer of ActiveCaptain. I was drawn to ClubSeaRay because we had a lot of people from here coming to our site and I wanted to take part in discussions where appropriate.
My wife and I along with our two labrador retrievers (Dyna and Dylan) live in Maine...
I complained about that too and we decided to see what other people thought. There have been a good number of complaints. The "window" is being opened and an update is coming in a couple of days (you won't have to re-download the database again).
There's also a small bug with the tapping...
Apple approved it about 1 hour ago. I would have told you sooner but I didn't know.
They say it takes up to 24 hours to appear in the App Store. We're putting a newsletter together about it now.
It's called Charts & Tides by Navimatics. The entire east coast from Maine to the Keys and...
It's at Apple waiting for release. The same app works on both iPhone and your iPad at the same time (only have to get it once). Lot's of screen shots at:
