Awesome! I just D/L'ed version 1.6 and will be taking it out to sea tomorrow (dying to do it now but it's just too late here). Just had to say that the new reference card is a great thing - I'd done a quick-and-dirty printout of my own from the .csv file but it ran about 4 pages and was not organized or formatted well at all - this one-pager will be perfect for ready reference till it gets to be second nature.

Well Done

Just one question regarding how you managed to get the course and speed commands working - does it depend on using exactly the formulation you have written (e.g., "heading xx degrees", "heading right xx degrees", "make your speed xx knots"), or is it possible for us to modify these slightly (e.g., "make your course xx degrees", "come right xx degrees", "make turns for xx knots")? There's certainly nothing wrong with the way you've got it now, and I think it's amazing that you've gotten this to work, so I don't want to sound like I'm looking a gift horse in the mouth, but I'd love to be able to have alternate ways to say these things too.

This just keeps getting better and better
