B&G Deckman V9 software
Race instrumentation brand B&G has released the latest version of Deckman, its tactical navigation software used by raceboats ranging from America's Cup and Volvo Ocean Race contenders to sportsboats and club racersVersion 9 of the Deckman software incorporates the overlay of AIS data, allowing navigators to view the position, course and speed of all leisure and commercial craft within range equipped with Class A and B transceivers.
Not only is this important for avoiding collisions, it gives tacticians a first-hand view of competitors and teammates fitted with AIS systems, said the manufacturer, while Deckman also interfaces with any NMEA-0183 compatible AIS receivers, such as the Simrad AI50.
Deckman V9 also comes with an enhanced graphics engine with a higher degreee of layline options, including shaded limit layline sectors.
As well as a fully-featured tactical navigation interface that gives navigators a clear overview of the racing area, the manufacturer said Deckman also provides many additional tools to allow navigators to make accurate decisions on the racecourse.
Key functions include: the start display, giving a full tactical overview of the start area including calculations for line bias angles; time and distance data to line intersections, and 'time to go' and 'time to burn' options; polar calculations, the most accurate routing algorithm available, and much more, said B&G.
