Faster you go, better it works <g>.  Is Trimble the outfit that builds one
with 18,000-some aids to navigation in ROM?  Bet the CG in the State of
Maine keeps them hopping -- they don't seem to have much better to do than
move buoys around, renumber them, paint them different colors etc. :-/ --
means I have to get a new set of charts every couple years, and they come
with 500 or so corrections to be made (because of overlap and different
scale charts, every change to an aid means up to four or so chart
corrections) before I even get started.
