Maptech Chart Navigator
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Chart Navigator is the perfect software program for boaters interested in trying PC chartplotting. The easy-to-load USB Flash Drive comes with complete U.S. coverage of Raster charts, satellite photos, aerial photos, and topos. Also included is the full-featured Offshore Navigator software program, which provides the tools for route and trip planning and navigating in real-time, plus tides and current information for U.S. waters. Chart Navigator can interface with autopilots and other NMEA0183 instruments.
Route Planning: Chart Navigator makes route planning as simple as clicking a mouse. Click — and you've put the first waypoint on the chart. Click again — and you're creating a route. It's that easy.
GPS Ready: Chart Navigator takes the signal from your GPS receiver and shows your position right on the screen. You can see your vessel move across full-screen or split-screen charts, 3-D charts and Nav Photos.
On-Water Mode and Data Windows: One click simplifies the interface so you can see more chart area and the functions and data windows you need while navigation.
Spherical-Horizon View: The Spherical-Horizon View bends your mind as it extends your vision. Imagine draping a paper chart over a beachball, and you have the idea. Now you can see what to expect far, far ahead while the immediate area stays in sharp focus.
