We’re proud to highlight our two most popular water charts for the Netherlands: the trusted DKW 1800 series for Dutch coastal waters and the DKW Netherlands Inland Chart, specially developed by our team.

For many years, thousands of skippers have relied on these charts for their clear depth colouring, accurate data and frequent updates. It is time to showcase the care and craftsmanship behind them, helping you navigate safely and with confidence.

The DKW 1800 series and the DKW Netherlands Inland Chart have long been the standard for safe navigation on Dutch waters.

🔄 The most frequently updated charts for Dutch waters. 
The DKW 1800 series is based on official charts from the Dutch Hydrographic Office and even receives free weekly updates based on the Notices to Mariners (BaZ).
The DKW Netherlands Inland Chart is developed in-house using data from various government agencies, including IENC charts. When we receive user feedback about changes not yet published by the authorities, we incorporate them, where possible, in an interim free update.
This way, you always sail with accurate and up-to-date information, carefully compiled by our team.

🔍 Unmatched detail level: clearer and more complete than paper charts
Both charts feature clear depth colours, so you can instantly see where it is safe to navigate.
The DKW Netherlands Inland Chart includes a wealth of additional information such as marinas with contact details, Marrekrite moorings, diesel stations, watersport campsites, VHF channels, electric boating charging points, KNRM locations and waterway junctions from "Varen Doe Je Samen". For professional shipping, waterway signs and VIN moorings are also included.
🧭 A unique advantage: in WinGPS, all chart details remain clearly visible, even when the chart rotates with your heading (course-up).

💻 For your laptop, tablet and smartphone
These charts are designed for use in our navigation software WinGPS, available for Windows, Android and iOS. This allows you to use the same charts on multiple devices at once, with a reliable backup always at hand.

🌍 Expand your coverage with other cruising areas
The DKW 1800 series pairs perfectly with adjacent sea charts, such as for the English East Coast or the German Bight. The DKW Netherlands Inland Chart can be seamlessly combined with our other inland waterway charts of Europe.
This ensures perfect chart continuity, making it easy to plan and sail longer routes.

Up-to-date charts work best with an up-to-date navigation program. This ensures you receive the latest updates for waterways, features and improvements, and, if you use one of the extended versions, even current tide and current data.

WinGPS Marine for Android and iOS can be easily updated or upgraded via the App Store and Google Play Store.

WinGPS 6 for your Windows laptop or onboard PC can be upgraded directly via our online shop. Choose a one-time upgrade or go for the Premium Subscription, which gives you access to discounts on charts and exclusive support services, such as the Stentec WhatsApp and our call-back service.

Would you like to sail more safely using AIS? Discover the latest generation of AIS transponders from Weatherdock: the easyTRX3S. 
Specifically developed for recreational boating, with smart new features that increase safety and comfort. Ideal for safer and more enjoyable trips with WinGPS.

AIS is a system that allows you to see other vessels at a distance – and lets them see and contact you as well. It greatly enhances onboard safety and is becoming increasingly common. AIS is mandatory for commercial shipping, and in the port of Antwerp it is also required for recreational boaters.

• Lower price: This new model is €200 less than its predecessor!

• Built-in WiFi: With integrated WiFi and a USB port, you can share AIS and NMEA data wirelessly with your tablet, smartphone or onboard computer – no extra modules needed. For example, you can view the AIS data in WinGPS 6 on your laptop and simultaneously in WinGPS Marine on your iPad or Android tablet.

• Proven AIS performance: Just like the previous easyTRX3 models, the easyTRX3S uses SOTDMA technology and 5-watt transmission power, ensuring maximum reliability and range – even in busy waters.
   
• ME SENSE monitoring: The easyTRX3S is Weatherdock’s first AIS transponder with built-in support for ME SENSE. Connect sensors onboard and easily monitor key data such as battery voltage and bilge pump activity via an app.

There are 3 models available.

• Internal GPS. An AIS transponder always requires its own GPS receiver to transmit your position via AIS signals. This allows other vessels to see exactly where you are. The internal GPS is ideal for boats without a metal hull (such as polyester or wood), so no external GPS antenna is needed.
• Internal splitter. An AIS transponder needs a VHF antenna to transmit and receive AIS messages. Thanks to the built-in splitter, you can use the same VHF antenna as your VHF radio. No need to install a second antenna – this keeps your setup clean and simple.
• NMEA2000. A modern way for onboard devices like AIS and GPS to exchange data. Fast, reliable, and easy to connect.
• Wifi and USB. You can receive AIS data either wired via USB or wirelessly via WiFi. Note: this WiFi connection is for data transfer only and does not provide internet access.
• ME SENSE boat monitoring via app. See description above for more details.

• Includes all features of the base model, plus a LAN connection. Ideal if you have a router onboard: this allows you to share AIS data and internet through a single WiFi network across all your devices.

• Same as the base model, but with additional DVBT functionality for receiving digital television onboard.

Would you like to connect your AIS device to WinGPS? This is possible with the following versions:

• Windows: WinGPS 6 Pro, WinGPS 6 Voyager and WinGPS 6 Inland 
• Android: WinGPS Marine and WinGPS Marine Plus
• iOS: WinGPS Marine Plus
