Specifically designed for commercial and pleasure craft with AIS Class A or INLAND-AIS, there's the WinGPS Inland Navigation planning and navigation program for your laptop or onboard PC. By loading the free IENC charts and connecting AIS and GPS, you can quickly and easily create an affordable, innovative, and sustainable onboard navigation system.The WinGPS Inland navigation program was initially developed specifically for commercial vessels on European inland waterways, but is also ideal for pleasure craft with AIS Class A and for dredging companies, fishing companies, Rijkswaterstaat (the Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management), water police, and provincial authorities.
For example, you can easily
program your AIS via WinGPS, ensuring you always have the correct destination and cargo registered in your AIS.
In addition, you can easily plan routes using the extensive
waterway network, which is regularly updated. Indicate your sailing hours, and overnight stays or other rest periods will be automatically scheduled.
The
Notices for Marines are downloaded automatically and can now be automatically included in route planning with a single click. This gives you an immediate alternative route.
With WinGPS Inland, you can report electronically using
BICS, view current bridge and lock operations using
BLIS, and view current bIENC data from our partner
CoVadem (a subscription to CoVadem is required).
Furthermore, WinGPS Inland supports the
Fuel Flow meter, and water level forecasts (gauging stations) can be regularly updated.
In other words: ideal for sailing as sustainably as possible and saving fuel. This reduces costs and protects the environment.
Digital chartsIn addition to WinGPS Inland, you will need digital charts of your sailing area. Choose from the wide selection of up-to-date DKW charts (developed by Stentec), or load ENC charts from various government agencies to comply with the Information Mode (mandatory on German inland waterways).
For easy downloading of IENC charts, including annual updates, we recommend the new subscription
IENC Update Service. This allows you to easily download IENC charts. Choose a specific country or directly for the entire Europe.
