Nautical Charts on CD-ROM |
| Nautical charts on CD-ROM offer a user-friendly, portable and
cost-effective means of obtaining charts for a large area. For example, the
charts for Georgian Bay are all contained on one CD - for only $99.99 Digital Ocean electronic charts are officially released Canadian Hydrographic Service raster charts. ("Raster" is a computer generated image that is a replica of the paper navigation chart - with the latitude and longitude of the position of the cursor.) These CDs are designed for recreational boaters and function with most navigational software. |
 |
| The CD-ROM collections include the
following comprehensive navigation tools: tides/waterlevel information, chart
symbol index, marinas and place names databases. Each CD-ROM collection includes the full function version of Maptech Offshore Navigator software free of charge. Also, the end-user license is perpetual and does not require an annual renewal. If you already own navigation software you may prefer the Canadian Hydrographic Service Digital Charts which do not include navigation software. The current encryption system requires customers to register the product via the internet or telephone for the initial unlocking of the data. During this process the customer is provided with a password to unlock the data and copy it to their computer. In order to ensure up-to-date charts, the licensed user will be able to subscribe to an updating service and receive monthly updates of affected charts. It is highly recommends that boaters maintain up-to-date charts for safety purposes. These charts are compatible with most popular navigation software on the market, enabling the user to integrate the charts with a GPS to watch your boat move across the screen in real-time. Fugawi Global Navigator, BoatCruiser, MapCruiser and Maptech Offshore Navigator software, all available from Federal Publications, are excellent companions to the NDI Electronic Charts if you would like to interface your computer with a GPS. The full version of Maptech Offshore Navigator software is included free with 2007 Digital Ocean CD-ROMs. |
