The charts on the DVD are updated bi-weekly so you will receive the latest editions. NOAA Raster Navigational Charts® are full-color, geo-calibrated, high detail, digital images of NOAA's entire suite of paper charts. They display beautifully with all the details found on the paper charts that you are used to using. They are better though, because you can overlay electronic navigation elements right on top of the chart. Examples of these elements are your position, marks, tracks, routes, bearings, and distances. Another great feature is the ability to zoom in and out. You can see the big picture without the hassle of trying to spread out a large chart on a small chart table or you can zoom in to see all the details around your vessel.

The SeaClear II manual, Coast Pilots, American Practical Navigator, and Navigation Rules are all in Adobe Acrobat reader (pdf) format making them very easy to use. Acrobat reader is included on the DVD if you don't have it.

Turn on the automatic feature and your position will be shown in the center of a moving map. Create routes, find distances, bearings and more with the click of a mouse. Turn on the Tracks function and create a track of where you have been. Use created tracks to get back to favorite fishing grounds or return home when bad weather sets in.
