The Maas at Broekhuizenvorst

What is new?

  • The Frisian Lakes contain the latest depth measurements.
  • The Zeesluis IJmuiden is new and added to the chart.
  • There have been some changes along the Maas. See the image above for an example. As a result, floods are better prevented.
  • A new waterway has been added between Oostmahorn and Ezumazijl, so that you can now take the sloop from Dokkum to Oostmahorn.
  • The water names are shown as waypoints on the chart, so they rotate with you.
  • A separate chart has now been added for South Limburg. This allows you to also sail a bit across the Belgian border, such as over parts of the Briegden-Neerharen Canal and the Albert Canal. See image at the bottom of the mailing.

 Update and test

Before you can plan your journey in WinGPS, it is wise to update both your WinGPS and the digital charts to the latest versions. This way you have the most recent information and you can sail as safely as possible.

We recommend that you always test your laptop and GPS receiver if you have not used it for a longer period. A GPS rollover took place in 2019, as a result of which some GPS receivers no longer function properly. Also, many older GPS receivers do not work with Windows 11. So you may have to switch to a new GPS receiver.

  
Windows 11

The new BU353-s4 works well with Windows 11. The GNS 3000, a bluetooth GPS receiver, also functions well in combination with Windows 11. The MR-350s4 unfortunately not yet, a solution is still being worked on.
