The new software bridges the gap between PCs and embedded chartplotters by extending the power and capabilities of its Navionics chart compatibility. And, it is the only product available that allows seamless uploads and downloads of routes and waypoints to Navionics compatible chartplotters, as well as most hand held GPS receivers, said Oceantalk.
Marine ENC version 5 also offers enhanced Automatic Identification System (AIS) integration. Among the new capabilities is the ease for determining which vessels pose a collision threat and the facility to click on a vessel for expanded AIS information and true scale vessel silhouettes, said Oceantalk.
Another advantage of the software is that it comes with a new Fugawi Google Earth Plug-in. This gives the ability to view current GPS location on geo-referenced Google Earth images next to actual maps or charts in split-screen mode. The combination of detailed cartography and high-resolution aerial photography provides outstanding imagery and map information, said Oceantalk.
