See what's coming.
Electronics are unstoppable on board. The number of different navigation systems is increasing. It's not easy to keep track of things. What can the products do, for whom are they suitable, how do they work and what do they cost?
The YACHT's navigation and technology experts provide the answers. What is necessary for the operation of computers on board. How GPS data and the values from the on-board instruments get into the computer. How weather software supports route planning. And which navigation programs including nautical charts are interesting for cruising sailors.
Whether you are a beginner or a long-time experienced skipper - the software providers have developed the right program for every target group. The YACHT has taken a close look at them. A large comparison reveals the strengths and weaknesses of all systems.
But navigation should also be fun. Now everyone can put their knowledge to the test themselves. If you take part in the big navigation quiz, you have the chance to win valuable prizes. The main prize is the current top model from Steiner, the Commander XP binoculars with an integrated bearing compass. Other prices include navigation programs, nautical charts and manuals.
You can read all of this in the new YACHT (issue 6/05, from now on in newsagents).
It's worth taking part!
