MacENC™
Marine Navigation & Charting Application for OS
X Worldwide.
MacENC™
is the professional solution for the
mariner that wants to take the Mac aboard
for real-time display of position on the
vector format S-57/S-63 ENCs (Electronic
Navigational Charts) AND
raster format BSB and Softcharts. Plug your
GPS into your Mac and watch as your vessel
moves along in real-time, plotting a track
behind and logging a historic position on a
seamless quilted digital chart.
MacENC™ is right at home for planning trips
and charting new destinations. A GPS is not
required to work with charts. |

MacENC™ - Features
|
GPS & Instruments |
Realtime and
Simulated display of current LAT/LON
(position), SOG (Speed over Ground),
COG (Course over Ground), BTW (Bearing
to Waypoint), DTW (Distance to Waypoint),
VMG (Velocity Made Good), XTE
(Cross Track Error), TTG (Time to Go) for
waypoint and entire route, a satellite graph and a NMEA monitor.
GPS data can be repeated to another device such as control of an
Autopilot. Additional instrument data (Heading, Speed, Depth,
Temperature, Wind Angle and Windspeed) is also displayed.
Having all this information literally at your fingertips,
assures that you remain informed of your position and course. |
|
Charting |
Current position
with velocity vector, waypoints, routes and track history are
plotted. Seamless quilted vector or raster chart scrolls keeping
current position centered. North up or course up orientation.
Chart may be displayed with low light viewing intensity. Click
on any object on the chart and see complete details. Search and
scroll to any object on the chart. Chart can be "marked up" in
any color. No more marking, erasing and remarking paper
charts... know where you are, where you've been, and where
you're going! |
|
Zooming & Scrolling |
Show
chart at scales between 1:5,000 and 1:10,000,000 zoom with
excellent clarity. Rubber band selection to display any part of
the chart. Smooth and fast scrolling using chart drag tool.
Quick and efficient zooming and scrolling gives you a major
advantage in plotting your course, or in determining your
current position. |
|
Waypoints |
Create, edit, drag
and goto. Waypoints include a name, icon, and
description. Waypoints can be saved, exported/imported and
transferred to/from the GPS. Waypoint positions can be displayed
in several user selectable formats. Flexible Waypoint usage
makes it extremely easy to set a course for intermediate
destinations, or to return to previous ones. Found a great
fishing hole or anchorage? No problem... save it to a Waypoint
for future reference. |
|
Routes |
Create, edit, drag
and goto including auto advance. Routes include a name
and total distance. For each waypoint in the route the bearing
and distance from the previous waypoint is given. Routes can be
saved and transferred to/from the GPS. Flexible routing
features make it very easy to plan a trip or to repeat a
previous trip. |
|
Track |
Log and plot
historical position automatically at user selectable intervals
including course, speed and instrument data. Track can be
exported/imported and transferred from the GPS. See how
efficiently you sailed your course. Use this information to
implement changes in future routing. |
|
SailTimer |
Calculates and
displays the optimum sailing course and target speed based on
wind speed, wind direction and performance polars.
Instantly know how long it will take to sail to a destination
and which course to sail. |
|
Measure |
Position, distance and bearing (true or magnetic) anywhere on
the chart including great circle routing. This quick, easy,
and accurate method of measurement makes paper chart measurement
an antiquated methodology. |
|
Built-In Alarms |
Available for Anchor drag, Waypoint arrival, Cross Track error,
Shallow water, and AIS/Radar vessel proximity. Both visual and
audible cues are provided. User selectable range. Have you
ever tried to sleep on the hook during foul weather, while
wondering if your anchor was truly fast? Don't depend on luck
and guesswork. The integrated alarms add an additional level of
comfort in knowing what's really going on. |
|
AIS/RADAR |
Automatic Identification System receiver displays local vessel
traffic including name, call sign, length, speed, course,
distance, destination and closest point of approach. RADAR shows
tracked targets. Both AIS and RADAR are plotted on the chart.
Quickly see and track near by traffic. |
|
Weather |
Using readily available and free GRIB weather forecast files,
wind speed, wind direction, wave height, wave direction,
current, pressure, air and sea temperature are plotted on the
chart. Choose the date and time of the forecast you wish to see.
Knowing the forecast helps make key routing decisions. |
|
Tides |
Click on the chart to bring up Mr. Tides to the nearest station.
Having local tide data at hand can come in handy when
deciding to enter a port. |
|
Help |
Application help is provided through a 'Help Viewer' that
provides quick answers to most questions regarding configuration
and use. Easy access to assistance will ensure that you
quickly become a master of even the most complex program
functions. |
|
AppleScript Compliant |
Compliant - allows full scripting capability. While MacENC™
is an extremely simply and flexible application, users who like
to experiment with additional features can easily create scripts
to further enhance usage. |
|
Google Earth |
Plot waypoints, routes, tracks and weather in Google Earth.
Friends and family can easily see your plans and progress with
Google Earth on a Mac or PC. |
|
TCP/IP Interface
|
Send and receive NMEA data over wifi. Any number of clients can
share the NMEA data. No need to run wires all over the
boat as NMEA data can be shared throughout via wifi.
