Best Mapping programme/ app for PC to enable editing of GPS marks with chart overlay.
Best Mapping programme/ app for PC or desktop to enable editing of GPS marks with chart overlay.
Hi guys tried search bar but a lot of info appears old or outdated,
Looking for ideas on a easy accessible chat map overlay for PC use to enter edit view and store waypoints without having to sit in the boat with a bourbon in hand (although not a bad option)
Garmin pre home port used to allow this and had a programme but now with homeport all i have is a bunch of waypoints and the map of WA minus any chart overlay. I use on the boat lowrance with Navico charts but would like the option to upload marks and view with a reasonable level of charting depths etc.
Does anyone have or recommend a downloadable programme (prefferably without annual subscriptions) that would enable this?
Cheers

It's even worse if you have a MAC, bloody HomePort doesn't even work anymore.
Interested in what others are using, for Garmin plotter with SD cards in my case.

Furuno TZ Touch and TZ iBoat
I can plot marks and routes at home on my iPad or phone using TZ iBoat; these get uploaded to a cloud account. When I get to the boat and startup the TZ Touch it connects to the cloud (requires an internet connection) and the marks/routes pop up on the TZ Touch.
Note this only works with TZT2 and 3 models.

If you are looking for the "best" - MaxSea is very good, can connect your laptop to TZ units via ethernet. A lot of pros use it, not cheap
