Do you require support during the installation of your (new) Stentec-product? We can easily help you from a distance.

You can also find answers to many of your questions on our website under 'Support' and you will find videos with tips on our YouTube channel. We can of course also assist you by telephone or e-mail.

As soon as there is a change in our opening times or regulations, we will edit this article and the note on the frontpage and front door. Thank you for understanding.

WinGPS Inland: professional navigation for inland shippers

Do you already know WinGPS Inland? We have developed this professional navigation program especially for inland shippers, but it is also ideal for larger pleasure craft and coastal shippers. With this extensive route planner you create a complete professional navigation system for on board. We are happy to tell you more about this in this email.

Program your AIS-transponder
Changing the settings in your AIS Class A, including the current destination and load, can be easily and quickly programmed via WinGPS Inland.

The special AIS button bar allows you to quickly view and instantly adjust your AIS settings.

Use iENC
By combining the free iENC with DKW charts, you create a very complete chart image. Organize it entirely to your liking, using the S57 settings in WinGPS Inland for a nice and clear chart image.


Plot routes and sail them with current shipping messages
Simply plot a route by specifying your final destination and WinGPS Inland will plan a route from your GPS position, taking into account the dimensions of your ship, the bridges, locks and waterways. With multi-day routes you can set which hours / days you want to sail and which you do not, so you can see at a glance where you are during, for example, the rest periods.

By downloading the shipping reports, the current obstructions are shown on the chart and you can adjust the route if necessary.



Ship profiles
Whether your ship is loaded or unloaded can make quite a difference in the speed, draft and consumption of diesel. WinGPS Inland allows you to save different profiles, which you can easily select as soon as you plan a route or sail. This gives you a real-time view of the arrival time, duration, distance and the fuel consumption of the possible route.

Mark zones
With the help of the alarm zones in WinGPS Inland you can mark areas yourself on the chart. You can set whether or not you can enter it. If you go outside the indicated lines of the alarm zone, a visual and audible alarm will sound. Ideal during dredging, dumping, searching for a drowning person or for indicating areas that are not accessible to you.

Order WinGPS Inland now
The navigation program WinGPS Inland is a one time purchase of €499, - excl. VAT.

This includes the WinGPS updates during the first calendar year.

Or upgrade from WinGPS 5
Are you already in possession of WinGPS 5 Pro or Voyager (2017, 2018 or 2019)? Then you have the option to upgrade to WinGPS Inland for a special price. You will receive a €200 discount on the purchase price of WinGPS Inland.

Inland Update Service
We offer a subscription specially for users of WinGPS Inland. This will keep WinGPS Inland up-to-date, you will receive updates to the European waterways network, you will receive updated NL-tides every year and you will have access to the iENC server with which you can easily download and update iENC.


Complete navigation system for on board
Stentec is happy to help you make the right choice when it comes to navigation solutions. We offer ready-to-use laptops & mini PCs for on board, specially selected according to your wishes. The latest navigation software, sailing charts and USB GPS receiver are installed.

Constantly evolving
We are working hard to improve and expand WinGPS Inland. For example, we are going to make the link between WinGPS Inland and the CoVadem box possible. As a result, cooperative depth measurements are always available and up to date. Ideal for better predictions and sustainable, economically advantageous navigation.

We are also working on a link with BICS. This is a system that allows you to report electronically to the waterway managers, instead of via the VHF radio.

DKW The Netherlands 2020 now available

Good news for water sports enthusiasts who are going on holiday in the Netherlands. The 2020 edition of the DKW The Netherlands is now available. In combination with WinGPS 5 Navigator, Pro or Voyager, the DKW The Netherlands is ideal for route planning over the many lakes, canals and rivers that the Netherlands has. The smallest waterways are included, even from 0.6 meters deep.

There are many changes to the new edition of this chart. Below you will find an overview with the most important points. If you have already purchased this chart in the presale, you can download the updates directly in the news center in WinGPS 5 (Windows) or when you start up the WinGPS Marine app (Android and iOS).

New in 2020

  • After the construction of the Haak om Leeuwarden, an area development was started to the west of Leeuwarden, which has also caused many changes to the waterways. For example, a mooring facility has been built at Deinum, the Boksumer Soal has become navigable for sloops and various bridges have been constructed or replaced.
  • A new connection has been dug from the Tulip Island near Zeewolde to Flevoland. A lock has also been constructed.
  • The Blaricummer Meent has become navigable and from the new residential area you can now sail to the Randmeren through the lock.
  • An island 'Bliek' in the Haringvliet has been built near Middelharnis.
  • Footpaths are now marked on the map so that pedestrian bridges are more visible.
  • The sandbanks in Zeeland have now also acquired the color of a tidal area.
  • The depths of many waterways have also been updated, as have the buoyage and the marinas.

Optimized for 'course up' mode
The Vaarkaart Nederland is optimized for 'course up' and 'head up' mode. This was achieved by no longer putting the large number of places and area names on the chart, but as waypoint name labels. As a result, the names remain horizontal with a rotating chart and can be easily turned off and on with the 'show waypoint name labels' button on the toolbar (in WinGPS 5).

Discount
When you have the 2019 edition of the DKW The Netherlands, we offer a special upgrade price. In our shop, choose '2019 edition' at the 'upgrade from' option an follow the steps. When you have our Service Card 2020, you will receive an additional €10,- discount making the upgrade cost only €79,90!
