SEAtrak RCDS (Leisure System)
|
|
SEAtrak is the ultimate in ARCS Skipper system for use on leisure
craft. Designed to be simple to use, yet still rich in features SEAtrak makes real time navigation quicker, safer and more accurate
then ever before.
|
|

|
As with all Meridian RCDS products SEAtrak uses ARCS charts which are
produced by the UK Hydrographic Office which are exactly digital
reproductions of the Admiralty paper charts that mariners use every
day. This means that using RCDS is like using a paper chart on a PC,
with all the complex calculations done for you, faster and more
precisely.
It links directly to your GPS
navigator and displays your position, in real time on the ARCS chart
turning your PC or laptop into a powerful, full colour, chart plotter. |
