Electronic Charts

Electronic Charts represent the future of navigation, with vector charts becoming the standard on new vessels. Digital charts in vector format are now found on most chart plotters and Electronic Chart Systems (ECS). Navigator represents the most cost effective, quality, vectorised charting and navigation software for use on a PC.

Electronic Chart Display Information Systems (ECDIS) is the highest standard of electronic chart available today. Transas, the company behind the Tsunamis navigation system are world leaders in ECDIS technology and the research and development at this level is apparent in Tsunamis at a fraction of the cost.

Navigator is used by mariners at all levels, and is considered by many to have the best charts and most professional operating system on the market. Connect a GPS to your laptop or PC, and you have a precision navigation tool that will provide you with the best this technology has to offer.
