 Update and test

Before you can plan your journey in WinGPS, it is wise to update both your WinGPS and the digital charts to the latest versions. This way you have the most recent information and you can sail as safely as possible.

We recommend that you always test your laptop and GPS receiver if you have not used it for a longer period. A GPS rollover took place in 2019, as a result of which some GPS receivers no longer function properly. Also, many older GPS receivers do not work with Windows 11. So you may have to switch to a new GPS receiver.

  
Windows 11

The new BU353-s4 works well with Windows 11. The GNS 3000, a bluetooth GPS receiver, also functions well in combination with Windows 11. The MR-350s4 unfortunately not yet, a solution is still being worked on.
