A very handy program for offshore cruisers that includes all five Pilot Chart Atlases of the world, providing historical wind and current date overlaid on world charts, just like the paper versions. The Pilot Chart data is at one-degree resolution and has a detailed database of over 4,600 worldwide ports. Further, its Automatic Route Optimization enables you to do waypoint planning to take best advantage of the predicted wind and current conditions for your planned route. A “Weather Bar” continuously displays the Pilot Chart weather data as you move your mouse over the map. Data includes wind rose, current rose, mean wind speed, % gales, wave height, sea/air temperature , dew point, pressure and % heavy/light icing. An “Instant Report” window continuously updates as you modify your passage. GPS interface is also available.
