PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Chart Navigator Basic Edition 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 Offshore Navigator Lite GPS Software, 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 Basic Edition can interface with autopilots and other NMEA0183 instruments. 

Route Planning
Chart Navigator Basic Edition 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 Basic Edition 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.
