PILOT CHART DATA The official NOAA pilot chart data was used in the development of VPP2. It includes more than one hundred years of world wide weather observations at both 1-degree and 5-degree resolution. The data includes. Wind Roses, Current Roses, Mean Wind Speeds, % Gales, Wave Heights, Sea/Air Temperatures, Dew Points, Atmospheric Pressures, and Icing. Data for the entire world (75°N Lat. to 75°S Lat) for all 12 months is included. GLOBAL MAP VPP2 comes with a global 1:1,000,000 scale map that can be viewed in a variety of ways. Three different map projections are available with the click of a button: Spherical, Mercator, and Cartesian. WORLD PORT INDEX The locations database supplied with VPP2 contains the contents of the World Port Index, which is published by the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA). It contains data on over 4600 ports around the world. Some of the fields included for each port include (there are over 60 fields!): Name, Country, Location Type, Lat/Lon, Publication/Chart, Harbor Size/Type, Shelter Afforded, Overhead Limits, Channel Depth, Tide, Good Holding Ground, and many, many more.... AUTO ROUTE OPTIMIZATION A straight line is not always the best route between two waypoints across an ocean. Wind direction, currents, and vessel speed characteristics can combine to make the fastest route different than the rhumbline course. Also, the fastest route may not be the preferred route due to unacceptable wave heights or the desire to remain in warmer water temperatures. If you plan your route with a minimum of widely spaced waypoints, VPP2 can automatically generate a set of intermediate waypoints indicating a potentially faster/safer/warmer/etc. route for your vessel.

Yachting Monthly Magazine "Really impressive is the possibility in which the software shows the optimal route between two waypoints. In some cases that resulted in surprisingly new views. Visual Passage Planner costs significantly less than a complete set of Pilot Atlases for the entire world. But even if that wasn’t the case, we would gladly turn in our pile of paper for the CD-Rom". 1 2 WHERE TO FIND US 8 Spring Court Washington Crossing, PA 18977 US CONTACT US +1.215.493.7463 support@digwave.com © 2020 Digital Wave | Design by Styleshout
