The
navigation system Navi-Sailor 2500 has been developed to meet the
specific requirements placed by the naval, coast guard and frontier
guard ships. The system can be efficiently used during the ship's
patrol missions. A number of its advantages, however, are most
efficient in the sailing of ships in formation. The Navi-Sailor 2400
ECDIS and Navi-Fisher systems which hold an excellent reputation at
the market, served as prototypes for the development of the Navi-Sailor
2500. |
|
This powerful
computer navigation software has its roots in the professional suite
of navigation products from Transas Marine. Transas navigation
products are trusted and used by commercial shipping lines and Mega
Yachts throughout the world.
Because Tsunamis uses only proprietary Transas vector cartography
it is the only vector chart/software integrated system. Tsunamis
can zoom in/out on a chart with no loss of clarity, show information
as layers (rather than as a flat picture), set intelligent alarms,
show navigation aid information on demand (called "chart
interrogation"), tidal information and more.
Charts are purchased from the Transas database of over 4200 quality
charts, many derived from acclaimed British Admiralty
cartography. Email or call BCP to order Transas Charts. |

Seafarer capability
In addition to the vector charts of S-57 ver.3 format and raster
ARCS and NDI/BSB, the new system can incorporate Seafarer raster
charts produced by the Australian Hydrographic Office.
Underwater tracking
This feature means an ability to work with information received from
the sonar and some dedicated equipment for the display of tracked
underwater objects on the electronic chart.
Track utility
The software of Navi-Sailor 2500 also provides the
facility for underwater object tracking and monitoring. Track
Utility is a unique new function, which allows tracks of various
ships to be merged into one single file. Shipping companies will
benefit from this utility by using the stored information for
in-house analysis of their navigators' performance. |
Information display
A distinctive feature of the Navi-Sailor 2500 is also and a link
between the "Add Info" file and various MS Windows programs.
Weather information
The
Weather Wizard Software Module is another unique innovation.
Weather Wizard incorporates weather forecast data in the Navi-Sailor
environment and allows weather conditions to be displayed directly
on the electronic chart.
