Navigate on your iPad and iPhone

Since 2019, the navigation program WinGPS is also available in the Appstore. In addition to WinGPS 5 on the laptop and WinGPS Marine on an Android device, you can also navigate on an iOS device!

On this page we would like to tell you more about our various navigation apps for your iPad and iPhone. At the bottom of the page we will keep you informed of the latest developments. Onderaan de pagina zullen wij u op de hoogte houden van de laatste ontwikkelingen hierin.


WinGPS Marine for iOS

Get to know the navigation app WinGPS Marine for free and view your navigation charts, position and speed, among other things. Plot a navigation waypoint so that you immediately see the course-to-steer and distance-to-go. Ideal for smaller trips or as a backup.

If you choose the more extensive WinGPS Marine Plus app, you can plan routes and connect your AIS. Over time, this app will be expanded with functions such as current and tide data, GRIB files and connecting other on-board instruments. In this way you can create a complete navigation system on board.

Charts in WinGPS Marine

The charts you can use in these apps are Stentec's own DKW charts. For example, the well-known DKW 1800 series including weekly update service or the free DKW Vaarkaart Frisian Lakes.

In WinGPS Marine you can also use Apple's free online charts for orientation. You can download the DKW charts directly in the app and use them for navigation, after you have logged in with your Stentec account.

Note: Only 2018 and newer charts can be used in this app. Do you have older charts? Upgrade your charts in our online shop. Click here to upgrade your charts.





The Vaarkaart Friese Meren is a digital water charts of a large part of Friesland. This water chart can be used for free on your iPhone and iPad.

Ideal if you have rented a boat, but also for skipper and crew of sailing boats, motor boats and sloops on the Frisian Lakes.





     

Bluetooth GPS Receiver

If your iPad does not have an option for mobile internet, it also does not have an internal GPS receiver. If you want to use this iPad for navigation on board, an external GPS receiver is necessary to determine your position.

The GNS 3000 is a Bluetooth GPS receiver and is ideal for navigation with WinGPS Marine on your iPad.
