Course Calculations in Seconds
Neptune C-Map Planner
Offers you the
MAX or NT+ C-Map cartography providing accuracy,
detail, world wide coverage, as well as all the Neptune course
calculations and tidal data.
The C-Map charts can be installed directly onto your PC or using your existing
C-Map plotter cartridges via a USB reader.
The
program performs course to steer, course over ground and optimised
departure calculations, displaying tidal streams, and reference port
tides, also the program interface to GPS and Yeoman plotters.
After a calculation the results are readily available on screen and takes into account the
effects of tides using the inbuilt tidal data.
If
you are interested in the effects of wind Neptune C-Map Planner allows
you to overlay wind direction onto passage plans, making it instantly
visible if a plan can be sailed for the prevailing conditions.
Wind can be entered manually or automatically from SmartMet
Weather Information Service.
The
routes can be edited on screen and will show your the no sail areas. For
those interested in boat performance then Polar Plots and boat speed
estimation routines for the wind conditions are built into the software.
The program's output is easily copied to the clipboard for pasting into
a passage plan for SOLAS purposes.
Connected to a GPS the program will act as a plotter and at the same time allow you some very flexible waypoint management between PC and GPS. If you do not connect a GPS to the PC you can plot in manual mode. Waypoint files can be created either by typing in the co-ordinates and names or by simply pointing and clicking with your mouse, you can keep and edit many waypoint files on your PC and call them up at the click of a mouse. Once a leg has been set-up you can use the tide roll function to see the effects of different departure times on the course to steer and the effects of course over ground.
AIS formatted to allow target's predicted course to be viewed taking into account tides, track plot, configure target static data to appear on screen, record data and replay log files.
SmartMet
Weather Information Service
allows you to download and
view detailed weather reports and forecasts on to your PC.
SmartMet interfaces the wind details to Neptune C-Map Planner with the
option of using the forecast and Neptune tidal data to produce Course
Calculations.
You
can plan into the future or re-visit last years calculations as you
wish. There are many additional features that can be explored. This
program is not time limited, and so no yearly updates are required,
however the C-Map chart updates are annually available.
For generalised route planning the system can be used without purchase of additional charts; however for detailed navigation purposes additional charts are necessary. The demonstration area is the Central English Channel and adjacent coast of France and worldwide coverage is available from the C-Map Chart Selector CD.
Neptune C-Map Planner is an easy to use programs, full of great features, calculations and a pleasure to use.
