With our new DKW 1600+, you can navigate the Dutch and Belgian coasts with a clear, up-to-date digital chart, including the trusted weekly BaZ updates automatically installed in WinGPS.
The chart is based on the Hydrographic Chart 1600 and supplemented with additional chart sheets. This gives you a single, clear overview of the most important sailing areas along the coast and in the North Sea.
NEW: This new digital chart offers extra-wide North Sea coverage and smart alert zones for enhanced safety near wind farms and other locations. Coverage AreaThe DKW 1600+ covers:
•
the North Sea coast of the Netherlands and Belgium:
In some areas, up to 85 miles from the coast. This includes the numerous wind farms and traffic separation schemes.
•
the Rijnmond area:
This includes the Maasvlakte up to Capelle aan den IJssel, Lekkerkerk, Sliedrecht, 's Gravendeel up to Oud Beijerland.
•
the Westerschelde up to Antwerp and Ghent..
The DKW 1600+ is the ideal replacement for the well-known 1801 North Sea Coast, 1803 Western Scheldt, and 1809 Rijnmond areas, which are no longer published by the Hydrographic Service. It is ideal for combining with the DKW 1800 Complete series. This creates a beautiful set of up-to-date charts for Dutch coastal waters.

Because several 1800 charts are no longer published by the Hydrographic Service, many users were looking for a suitable alternative. The DKW 1600+ offers a practical successor for these sailing areas, with comparable coverage, BaZ updates, and a familiar chart view in your WinGPS navigation system.

Preset alarm zones for areas such as TSS (Turbo Surveillance Zones) and wind farms, which warn you in WinGPS 6 as you approach a risk area.
