One of the reasons I found it interesting as in Seattle... the pockets... I am glad the system exists and kinda wish that Raymarine and others would provide that additional info especially with all the DSC radios out... I have benefited from CG radio announcements... and the coverage ranges annotated from the source - greatly influences some decisions that would be made to cruise to some areas....
Thanks for the feedback and hope others take a gander as per other threads - seems it is a non-issue... until it actually pertains to their distress...
