Did you know that the easiest and most detailed way to plan your routes is on your Windows laptop or onboard computer? With WinGPS 6 for Windows, you can turn your computer into the ultimate route planner.

Plan your trip from the comfort of your couch at home, and you’ll be ready to go right away! 
Why route planning on Windows with WinGPS 6 works so well:
 
  • Smarter navigation with the Route Network:  
    Simply enter your boat’s dimensions (draft, clearance height) and your destination. WinGPS immediately plots the fastest or shortest route and automatically avoids bridges that are too low, locks that are too narrow, or shallow areas.

  • Full control and overview:
    Plan your route on a large screen using the most up-to-date digital DKW nautical charts.

  • Up-to-date information at your fingertips:
    View operating hours for approximately 19,000 bridges and locks (often including photos!) and load the latest GRIB files for current weather forecasts.

  • Analyze your trip afterward:
    While you’re sailing, WinGPS automatically tracks your route, and you can start a logbook yourself. It’s fun to sit down at home on your laptop and take your time analyzing your trip, printing it out, or sharing it with friends and family.

What's new?

The new charts from the 1805, 1811, and 1812 series are now available, and we've prepared them for you so you can download these updates in WinGPS. 

Important changes include, for example, an updated depth profile of Lake Grevelingen: almost all values have been adjusted compared to the previous version. 

In the Wadden Sea, a number of sandbars have shifted or changed shape, such as the Richel between Vlieland and Terschelling, and the Rif between Ameland and Schiermonnikoog.

The Simonszand has even moved a few hundred meters further out. The “Eilanderbalg” channel has eroded a larger section of Schiermonnikoog. The Kamperzand is now also shown on the chart, a sandbar between Ameland and Terschelling. West of Terschelling lies the Boomkensdiep; it has now been mapped in greater detail, but the channel still has no buoyage.

Choose WinGPS Marine Plus now for just €39.90 per year!

What does Marine Plus offer?

With WinGPS Marine Plus, the navigation app for Android, you can:

  • Plan routes
  • Download GRIB files
  • Access tide data for the Dutch coast (worth €19.90 per year)
  • Connect onboard instruments, such as AIS
  • Use your own DKW charts

Included: access to the Stentec Tidal Service (previously €25). This allows you to download current water levels and current data for the Dutch coast and the IJsselmeer, including wind-driven surges. WinGPS then calculates exactly where and when you can navigate (or beach) based on your draft, and marks these locations with red lines on the chart. The timeline lets you see immediately how the navigable area changes over time.

Navigating on Your Wear OS Smartwatch with WinGPS Marine Plus for Android

Navigation data is always at your fingertips, without having to pick up your phone. The new WinGPS Marine app for Wear OS displays live data from your navigation system right on your wrist: course, speed, depth, wind data, route information, and more.

Have you been using WinGPS Marine (Plus) without a subscription so far? If so, you can, of course, continue to use it as usual. However, the app will no longer be updated or enhanced with new features or improvements for you. For example, the Dutch tide tables will no longer be updated.

Would you like to switch to a subscription? You can easily order one through our online store. As soon as you restart your WinGPS Marine (Plus), you’ll see “WinGPS Marine Plus (subscription)” displayed on both the startup screen and under “About/Help.”

Why is WinGPS Marine Plus now available as a subscription?

Since 2014, the Android apps WinGPS Marine and Marine Plus have been available as one-time purchases. Updates with new features and improvements have always been provided free of charge. In recent years, however, we have invested a great deal of time and expertise to keep the app continuously up-to-date and reliable.

Our developers have continuously ensured:

  • Compatibility with new Android versions

  • Security updates in response to changes in data sources and GRIB servers

  • Route network updates for current waterways, bridges, and locks

  • Annual addition of tide data (Plus version)

  • New features for greater ease of use

With an annual subscription of €39.90, we can continue to guarantee this quality and security. You’ll benefit from all the features of Marine Plus, quick updates, and up-to-date data.

The subscription renews automatically, so you don’t have to worry about it. If you don’t plan to sail for a year, you can easily cancel up to 1 month before the renewal date.
