"...Before I had a computer and Nobeltec, I would spend 1 or 2 hours each evening while cruising, plotting courses & currents. I now do the same thing in less than 5 minutes, and with greater accuracy!  ... Since I was truly computer illiterate, both the factory and dealer support were critical. I was most impressed when I called Nobeltec in the middle of a lightning storm to get help. I was even more impressed when I called yachtSOFT.com with a serious computing problem at 10 p.m. on a Saturday night, and they patiently talked me through it..."
cruising sailor and yachtSOFT.com customer H. Markhoff

SOME FEATURES FOUND IN THIS REVOLUTIONARY NEW PRODUCT:

GeoDraw
The GeoDraw chart engine is a huge breakthrough in charting and map viewing technology. GeoDraw enables you to view charts in new ways:
Chart Rotation: Now charts can be shown in Course Up, North Up and Native Up. Chart Quilting: Old style raster navigation programs limit you to one chart at a time. Now Nobeltec has eliminated this restriction with GeoDraw .
Infinite zooming: As you zoom out on an old-style charting system, the edges of the chart appear as you approach them. It's possible to find yourself near the edge of the chart without knowing what is in front of you. GeoDraw assembles a patchwork of various scaled charts and "Quilts" them together into a single chart. The Chart boundaries are barely visible. GeoDraw is able to create this view even from charts with different projections.

 


This chart is made of four different charts.

Nobeltecs New GeoDraw technology creates a single chart image, made from several charts.
The GeoDraw engine chooses the best charts and layers them automatically. You never need to concern yourself with finding a particular chart again. As you zoom in and out, the larger scale charts automatically disappear from view, replaced by smaller scale charts. These are the NOAA charts that make this quilted image.

 

Visual Tides
Tides and currents displayed on electronic charts is one of the most commonly requested features in navigation software. Nobeltec has developed this technology for two breakthrough products, Visual Tides and the Visual Navigation Suite.

View tide heights and current levels where your boat is located (and where it's headed ! ) . Trip planning has never been so easy, and Nobeltec's Visual series makes it simple to get "the big picture."

 

See the image at the top of this page to see how Visual Tides provides an animated view!

Tide levels and current flow are instantly visible on a chart, so it's easy to get information about a specific station by simply clicking on it.

Tide indicators display a quick indication of tide height while current arrows show current speed and direction at a glance. Change the prediction time by an hour, day, month or an entire year with a simple pushbutton tool!
