Smartlabeling
With the new Smartlabeling option of WinGPS 5 2017, the charts of DKW Vaarkaart Nederland 2017 look more beautiful and organised than ever. The names of bridges/locks do not overlap anymore which keeps the waterway a lot more clear. That is why we recommend upgrading to or purchasing WinGPS 5 2017 when using DKW Vaarkaart Nederland 2017.
