CruiseSN (Navionics Charts)

At a glance, on the main screen, SailWare CruiseSN provides the user with a highly detailed view of the navigating area, while the boat marker continually shows the position - either from GPS or dead reckoned. Heading, boat speed, depth and any other variable available from the instrument system can be represented both on digital readouts or analogue indicators. SailWare CruiseSN offers a graphical representation of wind direction and speed, course to next waypoint and, if the current leg is not a reach, the beating or running area.

CruiseSN supports NAVIONICS GOLD cartography.

CruiseSN allows easy and safe route planning: enter waypoints just using simple mouse clicks and the program will immediately construct a route, computing bearings, distances and estimated time to arrival.

A powerful "Tools Box" enables the user to personalise any chart to mark favoured anchor-age, dive sites, route plans, etc. or include updated notices. Overlay data are totally independent from the chart displayed: as the user changes charts or zoom level, the data remain in the correct position. Data are automatically written to a log file on the computer harddisk for later replay or review. Easy and intuitive user interface allows to customise the system in order meet user preferences as language, measure units, chart colour palette, etc.
