Marine Navigator Lite (v. 1.0.5) Разработано Ronald Koenig |
Marine Navigator Lite is an offline navigator using raster navigational charts (RNC's) to plot your position in real time. This way you can navigate with true copies of official paper charts on your mobile device. This lite version of the Marine Navigator provides the following basic navigation functions:
* real time positioning (instantly shows vessel's position and course on the chart)
* display of navigational data (position, speed over ground, course over ground)
* distance and bearing calculation
Marine Navigator Lite doesn't come with pre-installed nautical charts. Instead it is able to import BSB/KAP raster navigational charts (see menu->help for instructions). RNC's are available for free at various internet sites:
* http://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov (Suite of NOAA nautical charts that covers the coastal waters of the U.S. and its territories)
* http://www.openseamap.org (Openseamap charts are based on Openstreetmap data enriched with additional nautical information. The charts cover selected european coastal waters).

[2011-09-17] D: Does what it advertise a Would benefit from some getting started instructions specifically walking the user through downloading charts from NOAA. |
|
[2011-09-07] MARK: Great program room for improvement The program works great, but is cumbersome to open a more detailed chart. It should have a chart up chart down function 4 opening a more detailed |

[2011-08-05] CaptKen: A few minutes to learn, and then a great tool Once the downloaded charts bet put into the right place on the Android, it works very well. Easy to use, quick response and no cell connection is necessary. If only waypoints could be imported it would be perfect. |
|
[2011-07-22] Tim: Awesome...keeps getting better too. |
|
[2011-07-17] Chris: Click import and only get a white screen. No maps shown. Could be nice. Uninstalled. Droid X 2.3 |
|
[2011-07-13] David: V1.0.1 fixed all the weak points I noticed. I like using NOAA charts fresh from their website. Not a routing program, but a great chart plotting tool. |
|
[2011-06-24] Zak Robinson: This program is the most straight forward and user friendly plotting program on the market. I will be glad to pay for a full version when available. |
|
[2011-06-22] Michael: If it would just load my maps.. Would be nice if nos/geo file format was supported. |
|
[2011-06-15] Mark: Aaron - I suspect the reason you are seeing that symptom is that the app loads the chart and then repositions to your current gps location. |
|
[2011-06-14] Aaron: Displays most charts for about half a second and then displays the sailboat background :( |
|
[2011-06-12] david: Downloaded rnc maps. Would not work until maps copied into file. Now works. Ron quite helpful. Tks |
|
[2011-05-22] Colin: If you have the maps super program. WOULD BE HAPPY TO PAY FOR IF IT ZOOMED LARGER to make it readable on small screen |
|
[2011-05-15] Kristina: Do what it has to do, simple and usefull, will try it in the sea. Is there a Pro version? |
|
[2011-05-10] Eric: Can't dl new charts. Worthless. |
