WinGPS™ Marine 4.75

WinGPS Marine offers modern navigational tools that are easy to learn, providing a safe and efficient trip for boaters. One can plot routes by long-pressing on the chart and track their exact location using the onboard GPS. The ability to download up-to-date charts onto your device allows for offline boating. Connecting your AIS via WIFI adds an additional layer of safety by helping prevent potential collisions.

Developed by Stentec, WinGPS Marine is tailored for navigation on various types of vessels including sailing and motor yachts, sloops, and canoes in both sea and inland waters. This makes it ideal for those renting or chartering boats.

• Supports waterways for inland charts in Western Europe and Donau, providing bridge, locks, and waterway information for quick route plotting with indications of obstacles. Users will also see the names of waterways and distances during their journey.
• Smart labeling ensures clear chart images by preventing text label overlap, even for waterways. This feature guarantees that bridge and lock data remain legible on rotating charts.

• Navigate using up-to-date charts from Stentec, Imray, NOAA, and Delius Klasing.
• SD-card support for chart storage.
• Manage tracks, charts, routes, and waypoints efficiently.
• Access NOAA World GRIB-files for wind, air pressure, rainfall, and temperature information.
