SMM saw the launch of the NAVTOR NavStation, the world’s first ‘Digital Chart Table’ and a breakthrough in bridge-based decision making tools. NavStation combines software with an optional 46-in. ‘gigapad’ touch device, giving navigators an intuitive and user-friendly interface to plan optimal vessel routes. The software gathers and overlays all the data navigators require – including ENCs, weather data, tidal information, digital publications, and other services like piracy updates – on a single screen. Users can then grab, swipe and maneuver the layers on the giant touch pad to unlock a new e-navigation reality.
