It seemed more and more obvious over the last year or so that Jeppessen was much more interested in providing data than developing software, let alone marketing hardware like radars. ![]() He also seemed happy about going to work for Brice Pryszo, who founded MaxSea in 1985 and is still excited about PC navigation today. Product manager Bill Washburn says that getting the staff back together again should mean improved service. The customer service department will move from Denver back to Portland, Oregon, where the Nobeltec management and developer team will remain headquartered. ![]() the French holding company that owns MaxSea and MapMedia, and is itself 48% owned by Furuno - buy Jeppesen’s Nobeltec division? And what does this mean for VNS and Admiral users, and marine electronics? I got to talk with all the companies involved yesterday, and am optimistic that Nobeltec customers will benefit from this deal, at least in the short term, and agree with many that the overall possibilities are, um, “interesting”…Īt least for now the only real change Nobeltec users may experience sounds like a positive.
