Pre-release: WinGPS 6 - 2022
Just before Christmas we sent the first WinGPS 6 version to a select group of users! Hundreds of them have fully tested this 2022 edition. We are pleased with the positive reception and are working on the feedback in the 2023 edition.
What is new in the WinGPS 6 2022 edition:
- User-friendly route planner: the 6 version is easy to operate, especially for inland waterway routes.
- Always up-to-date: always be fully informed. All external information is automatically updated, such as GRIB files, shipping reports, IENC and your DKW charts.
- Automatic USB GPS recognition: as soon as you plug the USB GPS receiver into the laptop, the connection in WinGPS 6 is set up correctly.
- Discover the new Route Explorer: view all information about your current or future route in 1 screen. This makes it easy to look ahead and better anticipate obstacles.

The WinGPS users with a Service Card 2022 received WinGPS 6 – 2022 last December. They were the first to try and test this 6 version, after which we received a lot of positive and useful feedback. For example, we will immediately process the following points in the 2023 edition:
- Route Explorer was stuck on the right side. This comes loose again, so that you can arrange the screen better as you wish.
- When GPS tracking was on, the map could not be moved even though communication was off. This is being adjusted.
