Navigation Passage Planning software from Neptune allows display of fully detailed electronic charts on the PC screen, with continuous update of GPS position and GPS track recording.
The latest release from Neptune Navigation, and the ideal planning and chart system for most leisure sailors.
The chart folios cover most popular sailing areas all around the UK and the adjacent coasts of Europe.
Instant calculations of course to steer, and optimum departure times, allowing for wind and tides. Predicted track is displayed, so that you can immediately see if it is safe.
Under way, your GPS position is plotted continuously, allowing constant checking against your predicted track.
The system of choice for those sailing beyond European waters. The C-Map chart system has world-wide coverage, so you can enjoy the benefits of Neptune passage planning and navigation anywhere you choose to sail.
The facilities are very similar to Planner Plus and cover a wider area, but costs for the charts are a little higher.
Do you prefer to use paper charts, rather than rely on electronic charts?
Are you proud of your navigation skills and do not want to stop making use of them?
The Outline Passage Planner was designed just for you. You continue to navigate just as before, using your favourite charts, but now have a powerful assistant to handle all the routine look-up and calculations.
You can continue to work it all out for yourself, then cross-check with the answer on the PC, or use the program as your first resource, and apply your skills to checking you made no mistakes in entering any
figures or positions.
For any date and time, the tidal steams are displayed on a coastal outline chart. You can step through time, half an hour at a time
The real bonus comes when you enter a simple leg, or a route, and the PC will then calculate the course to steer, allowing for wind and tide, plus showing the optimum departure time for any trip.
You are in command, the PC is your tool.
Have you ever struggled to calculate tidal heights at secondary ports? Or wished it was quicker to look up tide tables in the almanac and calculate height or range for a given period - such as when anchoring?
Now you can have the answers at your fingertips. Instant graphs, showing exactly what rise of tide is predicted at any chosen date, time and port. Next day? Just click !
Monthly tables can be viewed or printed.
Do you find tidal stream atlases frustrating, when you have to rub out all the times and write them again every day?
The Neptune tidal stream program provides tidal heights and a dynamic tidal stream atlas. Choose your date with a couple of mouse clicks then step through half-hour at a time. The atlas instantly updates to give you a quick overview of tidal patterns as they change.
Set and drift figures are displayed for every tidal diamond, together with stream arrows.
