Passage Planning and Online
Navigation Program
Course Calculations from Tides, Tidal Streams and Wind data
Plotter
Planner PLUS
This passage planning
navigation program using Neptune's established algorithms calculating
course to steer, course over ground and optimised departure times all
taking into account tides and tidal streams from inbuilt tidal data.
After a calculation the results are readily available on screen with the
vector plot construction shown so that navigators can cross check their
chartwork.
Once a route 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. Also the program allows the navigator to
view the tidal conditions from 3 to 30 minute intervals in the journey.
The cartography used in this software is
reproduced from the raster chart data supplied by the UK Hydrographic
Office this including planning, pilotage, rivers and harbours charts.
The program interfaces to AIS and GPS
receivers and uniquely produces a predicted track plot for the target
vessel taking into account tides.
Connected to a GPS the programs 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 & edit many waypoint files on your PC and call them
up at the click of a mouse. Routes can be saved and edited on screen.
If you are interested in the effects of wind, Neptune Planner PLUS
allows you to overlay wind direction onto passage plans and will
show your no sail area, making it instantly visible if a plan can be
sailed for the prevailing conditions. Download Grib files from the
internet and
the wind element will
be taken into account when calculating routes, so enabling prediction of
boat speeds and routes to be planned with better precision.
For those interested in boat performance then Polar Plots and boat speed
estimation routines for the wind conditions are built into the software.
The programs output is easily copied to the clipboard for pasting into
the passage plan for SOLAS purposes. The program includes
ports tidal height predictions displaying
the
daily curve, instantaneous rate of rise or fall of the tide (in metres
per hour), sun rise and set times, lunar phases, springs to neaps
indicator, monthly tide times and heights.
You can plan into the future or re-visit last years calculations as you
wish. There are many features that can be explored. The program is
not time limited, and so no yearly updates are required. However the
charts can be annually updated.
After any calculation where Course Over Ground (COG) is being predicted,
an animate menu is visible. Showing the expected boat position, tidal
streams and valid wind Grib file, for ever 15 minutes of your route.
This remarkably easy to use
software
is full of invaluable features for the sailor, racer, power boater,
diver and fisherman.
