EasyBid is a third-party software that allows you to download the bid package, work on your bids offline, and then submit them automatically the next time you are online. Navtech has a similar product.

Using such an offline product is highly recommended, as the Navtech web interface is painfully slow. Each product has its own advantages and disadvantages, just as Mac and PC each have their fans. One important consideration is that the Navtech product is guaranteed to be accurate by the Company, i.e., backed up by the Bid Award Error resolution process, while EasyBid is not.
