Is it possible to get software for a GPS/PDA to make it a chartplotter with wrecks, ports etc... for Ireland? The GPS/PDA is already running DestinAtor3 for road use which is on a 256MB SD card. The GPS handheld is a Acer n35. Tryed different shops on the net ,but dont know enough about the thing to know what to pick. Any help is appreciated. :roll:

The answer [i]should[/i] be [b]Yes[/b]. Ive seen similar things on a professional boat. as far as I know the charts for irish waters are not copyrighted (unlike the maps of the land) so keep on looking. check out sailing shops and websites like Garmin and Magellan. I know that magellan have a GPS for sailors that you can add charts to. check out their website see who makes the software for them then check if they make a compatable version for your system

Good luck

Thanks.... went for the easy option in the end and bought a NAVMAN chartplotter and chart for Strangford.
