By connecting board equipment such as GPS, AIS, compass, wind meter, log, autopilot or depth meter you will turn your laptop or onboard PC into a complete navigational centre. Thanks to the unique AIS extrapolation, passages are planned safer and collisions avoided.

To plan routes over shallow or tidal waters you can use the implemented tides and currents database and new Stentec Tidal Service. Enter the sea gauge of your ship, download the latest tidal information and plan your route. WinGPS will instantly tell you where there is enough water under your keel and where your boat might dry out.

When planning a route for several days you will immediately see where you are on the desired resting times allowing you to reserve a suitable spot at a local port. Download the latest "messages to mariners" to avoid any inconvenient blocks along your route.

While sailing your route you can create multiple chart windows. For example, you can use one window to show your ship head-up and another window to show your final destination and your course towards it.
