Ron, look at CdC, C2A, Hallo Northern Sky, Guide9, and Stellarium. All except Guide9 are free.
When it comes to star information and star fields all except Stellarium will let you use UCAC4 and possibly NOMAD. CdC has a "fairly simple" means of adding any catalog in Simbad/Vizier you like.
I have all of them as well as TheSky6. My favourite is CdC followed by Guide9. If you want to discuss at length we can take it offline.

Starry Night Pro+ 7 is not cheap (except as an upgrade from SNP+6) and still rather flakey.
