Download complete files
We recommend to use a download manager when downloading files (e.g.. GetRight, www.getright.com). This will prevent downloads from being incomplete. Check the mentioned file size below after downloading. DKW Manager is necessary for installing the charts to PC and PocketPC, and updating the chart sets afterward. It also checks the file size before install.

DKW Complete now optimized for ADSL/Cable !
With your fast ADSL or Cable connection you can download DKW1800 Complete (art. 7209), DKW1800 North (art. 7285), or DKW1800 South (art 7286) as 1 packed file within 5 to 10 minutes. Then simply open the self extracting file and save the archive files (like dkw1810.chv) on CD for backup and installation with DKW Manager.

Download per chart set using ISDN !
Using an ISDN connection it is recommended to to download per set. For DKW North, download 1801, 1810, 1811 and 1812. For DKW South download 1803, 1805, 1807 and 1809. For DKW Complete download all sets. It is nor recommended to use ISDN for Navkom downloads.

No WinGPS Pro 3 support for DKW1800/2006 and later editions
Due to copy protection requirements in the new 2005 license system of the UKHO no conversion from DKW2 to DKW format is allowed for the 2005 and later editions. The UKHO (British Admiralty) is managing all license contracts for the Dutch Hydrographic office (NLHO). It is recommended and necessary to upgrade to WinGPS 4 (or Pro, under development) to run the DWW1800 edition.
