Instruments control

Developed to connect your instruments as easy as possible. Give in the connection between instruments and the COM port. This is done easily by drawing a line between your COM ports and the instrument. All collected data from your instruments are described in WinGPS 5 Pro clearly.


AIS-receiver or transponder

When you connect an AIS-receiver or transponder, WinGPS will show all ships and beacons on the map. Information like name, destination and MMSI number can be retrieved. You can see speed and changes in course. It will be shown in a bent vector. The adjustable CPA alarm warns for possible accidents with other AIS ships.


Your reliable partner at home and on board

 

WinGPS 5 pro allows you to prepare your route(s) at home. The software can be installed on two computer systems. That way you are able to make your route planning on a big screen. A big advantage when you will be sailing on, for example, the Wadden. Determine your departure based on a 7-days weather and current forecast. The free planning chart makes route planning even easier. 

Advised is to have up-to-date charts and print route tables and updated charts. WinGPS 5 Pro will keep a log while sailing. You are able to analyze the sailed routes afterwards. Back from your sailing trip you can print your sailed routes and even print your HTML log or place them on your website

WinGPS 5 Pro is prepared for abnormalities in your GPS by sun flares. Increased solar activity will cause sun flares more often which cause enormous GPS failures. WinGPS 5 Pro is set up for this and will pass on your position safely.
