Unique Light
Identifier Tool - By clicking on the sophisticated
chart-based identifier tool, users can record vessel position and
obtain a virtual 360° panoramic impression of all lights within
the theoretical range, even accounting for any prevailing
visibility conditions.
Comprehensive Search Facilities
- A detailed chart-based interface provides the mariner with
sophisticated geographical search facilities. Fast text and
co-ordinate based searches are also available to ensure users go
straight to the information required, thereby saving valuable
time. All results are displayed in the familiar tabular format
used in the paper Admiralty List of Lights and special night and
twilight display options ensure optimum visibility at all times.
Ability to Customise to Individual
Trading Patterns - Lights can be grouped and saved in
special user-defined files based on specific routes or trading
areas to enable fast information retrieval. Toolbars, screen
layouts and views can all be customised to suit individual fleet
or vessel requirements.
Peace of Mind - The Admiralty
Digital List of Lights has been developed to the UKHO's
exceptional standards of quality and accuracy to ensure maximum
navigational benefit and total confidence. The Digital Data
mirrors the paper Admiralty List of Lights, ensuring maximum
navigational benefits and total confidence at all times.
Full Print and Export Facilities
- Light and Fog Signal information can be printed and exported
into a range of other software packages including MS Word and MS
Excel for use in varying operational and navigational activities
such as preparation of passage plans.
Updating -
The Admiralty Digital List of Lights is sold fully up to date at
time of purchase and includes an automated weekly update service
as part of the subscription price. Amendments are supplied
electronically on CD-ROM every week, meaning that updates can be
completed in seconds, greatly reducing the time and effort that
has been traditionally spent manually correcting the paper
volumes, whilst minimising the risk of human error.
Remote Updating - Updates are
also available via email or from a simple to use page on the
UKHO's
website, enabling users to access the most up to date information
as soon as it becomes available.
Admiralty Digital Lights List uses the very latest techniques to
take full advantage of internet technology and minimise download
time, meaning that a weekly update can be completed in a matter of
seconds over a standard internet connection. Users with a suitable
internet connection, either at sea or on shore, can take full
advantage of this remote updating facility, which is also fully
compatible with the new Inmarsat Fleet Remote Delivery Service.
Safety Back-Ups - The
Admiralty Digital List of Lights is available on annual
subscription and includes a free second user licence for back-up
purposes.
Coverage - Global coverage is
provided across nine Area Data Sets contained on a single CD,
requiring minimum space on a vessel's bridge and giving maximum
purchasing flexibility. Users only need purchase the areas
required and instant access to additional areas can be quickly and
easily obtained in emergency situations by telephone, fax or
email.
