Update DKW 1811 and 1812 - 2019

The 2019 editions of the 1811 Wadden Sea West and 1812 Wadden Sea East were newly published in April by the Hydrographic Service and, of course, were also included directly in the updates of our DKW 1800 series 2019.

The update renews the bottom layer of the charts, among onther things. This mainly concerns changes in depth lines. A large part of the Wadden Sea was measured again in 2018 and early 2019. Some improvements have also been applied to the charts:


•  The buoyage direction is indicated more clearly. Color symbols next to the arrow indicate on which side of the navigation channel the red and green bouyage lie. See image.

•  The depth lines are blue instead of black, giving the map a fresher look.

•  All BaZ messages (NtM) are processed in the new charts, including the P&T messages.

•  The sailing route over the Waardgronds no longer has bouyage but has been opened for a limited period of the year. This will be announced via further BaZ reporting. The route is now shown as a dotted line on the map.

Updating WinGPS and charts

With the 2019 release of WinGPS 5, the DKW1800 series and the popular DKW The Netherlands, the sailing season can now start properly. To prepare yourself properly, we advise you to update your charts and navigational software before you start your trip. This way you will ensure yourself of the most up-to-date navigational data and will leave you without any surprises along the way.

You are welcome to visit our store in Heeg. When you bring your laptop or tablet with you, you can check if your system is up-to-date with one of our shop assistants.

Have you tested your GPS receiver yet? After the GPS rollover of early April 2019, it is possible your GPS receiver will no longer function properly. Our usb GPS receivers are a great alternative. They are easy to install and have a high accuracy while sailing.

Optimized for 'course up' mode

The DKW The Netherlands is optimized for 'course up' and 'head up' mode. This has been realized by taking a large number of city names and area names off of the chart and placing them in waypoint groups. Waypoint labels remain upright with a rotating chart. A big advantage is a calmer chart image. The 'course up' mode is available in WinGPS 5 Pro & Voyager and WinGPS Marine Plus.
