Touch-screen navigation comes to fore as Norwegian software offering
TOUCH-SCREEN navigation is being offered by Norwegian e-navigation specialist NAVTOR, with its NAVTOR NavStation, the "world's first digital chart table - a breakthrough in bridge-based decision making tools", said the company.
"NavStation combines software with an optional 46-inch digipad touch device, giving navigators an intuitive and user-friendly interface to plan optimal vessel routes," said the company.
The software gathers and overlays all the data navigators required including electronic navigational charts (ENC), weather data, tidal information, digital publications and other services like piracy updates.
This is brought to a single screen for the first time, the company claims. "Users can then grab, swipe and manoeuvre the layers on the giant touch pad to unlock a new e-navigation reality," said the statement.
"NavStation signifies a giant leap in the evolution of e-navigation and is exactly what busy navigators have been dreaming of," said NAVTOR business manager Willy Zeiler.
"So much information is available, and compulsory, today, but managing it is time-consuming, impractical and tiring," said Mr Zieler.
"Our software integrates everything, meaning navigators no longer have to race around the bridge from one software to another. Hence they can concentrate on what's really important, optimal navigation," he said.
