    Would be great to get folks feedback and choice between Nobletec versus Rosepoint navigation software.

    Thanks in advance for your feedback!

    I have never used Rose Point, but have used Nobeltec for the last 20 years, non better in my opinion for a non ECDIS approved navigation software.
    Nobeltec seems to continually upgrade their product and it gets closer and closer to ECDIS all the time. I would say a majority of yachts are running it in conjunction with ECDIS.

    Same here, have been using Nobeltec with AIS and radar overlay for 18 months. Very convenient to use and the first radar overlay navigation system I have ever used. Did add a gps/heading sensor to make the system stand alone.

    On my Nordhavn, I have Futuna MFD s and Radar, so use Nobletec because it is very compatible. I slightly prefer Rose Point, or INav x because it is designed for Apple products.

    Futuna? I've never heard of that brand. Is it new?

    Maybe mistyped and meant Furuno.
    For-tuna may be a better name for some of that equipment.

    Futuna is some lil island out in the middle of some big ocean.
