[PSUBS-MAILIST] Gamma Retoration

[David Colombo]

Douglas, I downloaded the NOAA chart on my nexus tablet before we took a
boat to Conch reef. We navigated the entire way out and back.. Worked like
a champ. I plan to have it on my sub as std equipment. Especially liked the
lat /long positioning as we traveled for making way points.
