Interested on reviews on the above if anyone's seen or used it, are the charts any good etc etc?

Sounds very much like OpenCPN. (OpenCPN is free, and quite usable!)

I've downloaded it and it seems ok to me, my AV didn't block it.

OpenCPN is fine - I've been running it with CM95 charts on the sailing boat for a couple of years now as a backup plotter, and find it very good. Integrates with the AIS nicely as well.
