What's New in Coastal Explorer 2009

World Wide Vector Chart Coverage

Coastal Explorer 2009 has support for world-wide vector charts in the S-63 format. This includes official charts from hydrographic agencies around the world as well as the Navionics® S-57/S-63 charts available from www.ChartWorld.com.

The Coastal Explorer Network

The Coastal Explorer Network is a new on-line service that provides users with their own space on the Internet that includes:

• An automatic US chart update service
• A "Blog Book" for sharing their experiences with friends, family, and other Coastal Explorer Network users
• A Community Cruising Guide and Vessel Registry which are tightly integrated with the Coastal Explorer software

Enhanced Cruise Mode

Coastal Explorer 2009 includes a completely redesigned "cruise mode" that provides quick access to many more functions and the ability to easily create new screen layouts. These customized arrangements of different types of views (such as charts, radar, and video) can be used to provide exactly the information you want, in the format you want, for various tasks such as cruising, entering a harbor, fishing, docking, or anchoring.

Radar and Video Support for Improved Situational Awareness

Rose Point offers a variety of radar sensors that work with Coastal Explorer 2009 to provide radar images overlaid on the chart as well as in a side-by-side radar and chart display.

Coastal Explorer 2009 can display video from any Windows® compatible video camera, including network cameras. Now you can monitor your engine room, swim platform, or aft view on the same display you use for your charts.

Coastal Explorer 2009 is available now. Registered Coastal Explorer users are eligible for a free upgrade!
