DKW 1600+
North Sea Coast Netherlands


With our new DKW 1600+, you can navigate the Dutch and Belgian coasts with a clear, up-to-date digital chart, including the trusted weekly BaZ updates automatically installed in WinGPS.

The chart is based on the Hydrographic Chart 1600 and supplemented with additional chart sheets. This gives you a single, clear overview of the most important sailing areas along the coast and in the North Sea.


NEW:
This new digital chart offers extra-wide North Sea coverage and smart alert zones for enhanced safety near wind farms and other locations.

Coverage Area

The DKW 1600+ covers:

  • the North Sea coast of the Netherlands and Belgium
    In some areas, up to 85 miles from the coast. This includes the numerous wind farms and traffic separation schemes.

  • the Rijnmond area
    This includes the Maasvlakte up to Capelle aan den IJssel, Lekkerkerk, Sliedrecht, 's Gravendeel up to Oud Beijerland.

  • the Westerschelde up to Antwerp and Ghent..

The DKW 1600+ is the ideal replacement for the well-known 1801 North Sea Coast, 1803 Western Scheldt, and 1809 Rijnmond areas, which are no longer published by the Hydrographic Service. It is ideal for combining with the DKW 1800 Complete series. This creates a beautiful set of up-to-date charts for Dutch coastal waters.

Extra safety: preset alarm zones

New to the DKW 1600+ is the addition of preset alarm zones for use in WinGPS 6.
With the alarm zone function in WinGPS 6, you can mark areas on the chart where you are not allowed to enter or where you need to be extra vigilant. We have prepared several of these zones for the DKW 1600+, including:

  • Traffic separation schemes (TSS)
  • Wind farms and restricted areas
When you activate the alarm zones in WinGPS 6, you will receive a warning as soon as your route or current position approaches or crosses such a zone. This gives you immediate clarity about risk areas, especially in places where there is often confusion about what is and is not permitted.

Important: The alarm zones can only be used in WinGPS 6 Navigator, Pro, Voyager, or Inland from 2025 or later. They are intended as an additional navigation aid. As a skipper, you always remain responsible for consulting official publications and complying with laws and regulations.

Key Features

  • Based on Hydrographic Chart 1600
    Clear, well-organized chart display, just like you're used to from the paper 1600, available digitally in WinGPS.

  • Extensive North Sea Coverage
    The DKW 1600+ covers much further North Sea than you're used to with traditional coastal charts. Ideal for coastal voyages, crossing between North Sea ports, and planning routes along the Dutch and Belgian coasts.

  • Includes Weekly Notices to Mariners (NtM) Updates
    The chart is updated weekly with the latest Notices to Mariners (NtM). These updates are automatically installed via WinGPS, ensuring your charts are always up-to-date.

  • A Practical Replacement for Discontinued 1800 Charts
    Because several 1800 charts are no longer published by the Hydrographic Service, many users were looking for a suitable alternative. The DKW 1600+ offers a practical successor for these sailing areas, with comparable coverage, BaZ updates, and a familiar chart view in your WinGPS navigation system.

  • Includes innovative alarm zones
    Preset alarm zones for areas such as TSS (Turbo Surveillance Zones) and wind farms, which warn you in WinGPS 6 as you approach a risk area.

  • Seamless integration with WinGPS 6 for Windows
    Use with WinGPS 6 Navigator, Pro, Voyager, and Inland. Plan routes, connect AIS and GPS, and start sailing.
