I use Des Newman's
Ozi Explorer
for navigational purposes.
OziExplorer allows you to work with maps on the computer screen that you
create from scanned or digital maps. Ideal for planning trips for boating,
4 wheel driving, flying, hiking etc and as a real time navigation aid.
It allows me to have real time maps on a display
in the wheelhouse,
save tracks of trips we make
and to attach information to mooring places that I mark on these maps.
I scan and calibrate my own maps and find Ozi Explorer very usefull to store all kinds of point of interest. There is no problem using these digital copies of maps that I own myself but I'm still wandering how make this information available to other boaters without violating the copyrights on these maps. This is a sample peace of the French map. |
