  • New buttons are available for your toolbar. Go to 'View → Customize main toolbar..' and put the buttons you want to use in the left column. For example, by putting the 'Blauwe Golf Verbindend' button on the toolbar, you can easily turn it on and off for a more clear chart view.
  • Not all bridges and locks are included in 'Blauwe Golf Verbindend' yet. This will be expanded over time. Of course, all bridges and locks are included in WinGPS, including the operating times, dimensions and often also a photo and contact details.
  • In GRIB management you can disable the 'Automatically update GRIB files'.
  • By turning off the Shipping Notifications button or 'Blauwe Golf Verbindend' button, they will no longer be shown on your chart, but will still be updated in the background. However, these are very small files with a size of a few kilobytes.
  • Do you have many tracks, routes, logs and other personal navigation data? Then this is a great time to make a back up. In WinGPS 5 go to 'File → Back up'. Select the data you want to save and the desired location, for example a waterproof USB stick. This way you can always restore your data in the event of a crash of your computer.

Sail safely up until 2021 with the DKW1800 2020 edition

Our first chart release for 2020 is the well-known DKW 1800 series, based on the paper charts from the Dutch Hydrographical Service. Starting now, you can purchase the new chart sets in our webshop or download them for free if you bought the chart set during our pre sale.

Free weekly BaZ updates

The DKW 1800 series 2020 are fully updated and will be updated further according to the weekly BaZ updates (Notices to Mariners) for the entirety of 2020. Updating is easy in WinGPS 5 and the WinGPS Marine series for Android and iOS. At startup, the charts will be checked for updates which can be downloaded directly (when an internet connection is available).

20 years DKW1800 series
This year the popular DKW 1800 series celebrates it's 20th anniversary. This digital chart was first sold on CD-ROM 20 years ago and has been installed by many satisfied users since then. At that time there were around 10 updates per year. In 2020 you can easily download the DKW1800 on your Windows laptop / PC, on your Android device and on your iPhone or iPad and they will be updated every week.

Upgrading
When you have a 2019 edition of the DKW 1800 series, the charts will no longer be updated. The last BaZ update was from week 51 of 2019. When you want to upgrade from the 2019 edition to the 2020 edition we offer a special upgrade price.

Are you sailing on outdated charts from 2018 or older? Then we recommend that you purchase the DKW1800 2020 series new so that you are provided with all updates and can sail safely all year round.

Important news for Windows 7 users

As of January 14, 2020, Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 7. This means that from then on there will be no new (security) updates and that technical support for Windows 7 will no longer be available.

We have recently noticed that many of our customers are switching from Windows 7 to Windows 10. It is possible that your (old) USB GPS receiver does not work with Windows 10. We therefore recommend one of our three new GPS receivers. These work with all Windows versions from Windows Vista.

We currently offer three GPS receivers that can be used as both main GPS and backup GPS on your laptop:

GPS Receiver BU-353 S4
The BU353 is the most widely used USB GPS with our customers. This GPS is easy to install, works flawlessly with Windows 10 and has a cable length of 1.5 meters.



Now on sale for only € 50,-
GPS Receiver MR-350 S4
The MR350 is also a wired (USB) GPS receiver. The MR350 is completely waterproof and has a cable length of 4.5 meters, which means that it can be mounted outside.

Bluetooth GPS receiver GNS 2000 Plus
The GNS2000 + is our wireless (Bluetooth) GPS receiver. You can easily connect it with your Windows laptop/PC, Android tablet or your iPad! This way, iPads without internal GPS still have an accurate position.
