Digital Yacht is launching a new application that will turn a MacBook into an electronic charting system at the UK’s Southampton Boat Show in September.

Digital Yacht’s new chart plotter app for MacBook

NavLink MAC is an Apple MAC based electronic charting and navigation package which turns a MacBook into a full function chart plotter. The application comes complete with highly detailed UK Hydrographic Office vector charts for the whole of the UK & Eire and allows real time positioning, tracking and routing.

Users can simply create a route with a click of the mouse to quickly and easily get bearing, distance and ETA information to the destination. AIS targets can also be overlaid onto the electronic charting.

The MAC will require a GPS connection for location and optional connection to AIS if an AIS overlay of targets is required. Alternatively, for a wire free solution, NavLink supports a connection via wifi to any of Digital Yacht’s NMEA to wireless devices such as iAIS and the WLN10.

The charts feature great detail as they are the official digitised versions of the UK Admiralty charts and show buoys, navaids, depth contours, wrecks, spot depths, restrictions etc. It also supports ‘drill down data so an object such as a buoy can be queried for its characteristics.
