Features of the OceanVision Navigation System

• High resolution, colour graphic display of marine navigation charts in real time, providing exceptional clarity and detail.
  
• A true seamless chart facility with zero overlap and no reduction in clarity when moving from one chart to another (unless the adjoining chart is of different scale). Charts are automatically rescaled if adjoining charts are of different scales.
  
• Auto chart selection. Where more than one chart exists for a given location, the chart that is closest to the current screen scale is selected and displayed.
  
• Pan and Zoom facilities
  
• Operator selectable charts with any chart being able to be toggled on/off from the available chart list.
  
• Full route planning facilities.
  
• Alarm functions for situations such as navigational hazards, off track conditions, approaching destination, GPS malfunction and anchor watch.
  
• Permanent graphical storage of vessel tracks in operator definable colours and line-types. Points and partial or whole tracks can be linked into the integrated database facility.
  
• A powerful Structured Query Language (SQL) database that is graphically linked for data entry and retrieval via operator positioned waypoints and markers.
  
• On-going software enhancement via an annual maintenance contract.
  
• Accurate vessel position, speed and course update with constant graphical and coordinate position update by a NMEA interface to a GPS unit.
  
• Waypoint/route steering capability via a NMEA autopilot interface.
  
• A 'Dead Reckoning' mode if GPS malfunction occurs.
