Is anyone familiar with how to plan a route on Active Captain?? I'm pretty computer savvy, but this site has me stumped!!! :smt100

Go to the guidebook then find a spot on the chart you are interested in and "click and hold" and a context sensitive menu will open up allowing you to place waypoints.

I saw the click and hold, just can't seem to figure the thing out

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 measurement perspective:

Love that site. I've done my best to update all my favorite anchorages, marinas, and mechanics. Acutally got a great tip this weekend when going to Tilghman Island about how the channel in Knapps Narrows has moved and where to head upon approach. Local knowlege is invaluable!

Supposedly they are linking up with garmin on the "summer 2012" release of an iphone/ipad navigation app that ties into your garmin equipment too.
