Features & Functionality- Complete Automatic Identifi cation System (AIS) integration displayed on an electronic chart. Increases situatio-nal awareness and improves decision making leading to lower incident rates from grounding and collisions.

- Seamless display of chart formats: CM-93, S-57 and encrypted S-57, BSB, HCRF (ARCS/Seafarer), GeoTiff , NTX, MRE. Gives you fl exibility in your choice of charts and includes continuous chart coverage while navigating.

- Route planning and monitoring. Allows you to quickly plan voyage routes and store them in the route library for future use. Route planning improves fuel effi ciency with reduced course alterations and rudder movements.

- Search and Rescue patterns. Provides you with 4 diff erent SAR patterns to assist with your SAR eff orts.

- Confi gurable collision and grounding alarms. Alerts you of potential collisions and/or groundings with confi gu-rable alarms.

- Query and communicate with AIS targets. Quickly query AIS target to view an accurate, near real-time display of the target´s heading, speed, cargo MMSI etc. Send safety and text related messages to other AIS-equipped vessels.

- The Radar Overlay module is used in such demanding applications as search and rescue, iceberg detection, obstacle avoidance, and coastal surveillance. A real-time radar image is overlaid on your electronic chart to provide a complete image of marine environment.

- The user interface provides multiple options for customization

Additional Modules Available- NavAids – Off ers superior navigational aid servicing and record-keeping for maritime administrations connec-ting to vessel-based systems. The NavAids module facilitates the management of navigational aids and enhances the process of buoy tending for vessels of all size.

-Survey- The Survey module utilizes specialized survey and data collection tools to provide the ability to plot parallel leg survey routes, display MRE bathymetric data and log any or all data in a Microsoft Access database.

-3D- The 3D module graphically displays the contours of the ocean fl oor with superb precision and clarity. Vessels equipped with a NMEA sounder can add sounding data to existing ISF charts to ensure you have the most current and accurate charts available.
