NavSim - SailCruiser - Sail Boat GPS Marine Navigation Software

SailCruiser, the GPS navigation software designed specifically for sailors. NavSim developed SailCruiser to give sailors an ideal PC based system for route planning, GPS programming, course plotting & real-time route tracking with features unique to sailing vessels.

The Sailtimer tool automatically calculates optimal tacking routes given wind & boat speeds and directions. Unlike standard GPS chart plotters, SailCruiser calculates Tacking Time to Destination (TTD) using wind, speed and direction giving you an accurate ETA during tacking legs. You will pilot to your destination as quickly & efficiently as possible.

SailCruiser's screen layout is customizable permitting you to size & arrange all navigation console displays or choose from over 40 standard display boxes including Highway, Camera and Wind Control. You can view SailCruiser in full screen displays or in a quad plotter-like display. Racers can display tacking on multiple waypoints and be able to view tacking routes & TTD around an entire course and even use polar plots for individual boat performance.

Save money & get it all in one box with a SailCruiser / C-Map package! You get the best navigation software plus your choice of one C-MAP MAX electronic chart at a price lower than if purchased separately.
