Disclaimer:
Capcode is NOT a certified navigation
tool. This product does not prevent you from using your normal
navigation means, like paper maps, compass, etc. In any case Capcode
was develop to be used as a primary means of navigation. Even if most
of the code were developed with a rather good development assurance
level, too many assumptions prevent you from using as a navigation
means: the operating system (probably windows, or linux) cannot be
granted this confidence, neither the java runtime. The maps you will
be using are not generated by a certified organism but by capcode
users that are willing to share their work.
