VesselView Fuel Remaining?

Here's my gripe with VesselView already(boat hasn't even hit the water yet!!)... FUEL REMAINING.... The GPH burned does not subtract from the Total Fuel Remaining. The Fuel Remaining is read from the fuel sender in the tank(not too accurate!). BUT.... I can view the Total Fuel Remaining on my Garmin 741xs via the NMEA2000 network between VV and Garmin. Why the heck does the VV transmit the data into the N2K network but fails to be able to display it on its own screen?! Otherwise it is an astounding piece of electronics, but just a bit let down.... I'm sure I'll get over it quickly. That is all.

    I pay more attention to fuel consumed on my SmartCraft. Not sure if VV has this, but if it does, assuming you reset every time you fill the tank, it is just as accurate. I know when I've burned X gallons of fuel, it's time to fill up.
