Vaarkaart Friese Meren for iOS

This chart is perfect when you are planning a trip on the Frisian Lakes. Great while renting a boat, but also for skippers and crew of sailing boats, motorboats and sloops on the Frisian Lakes. Even while using a canoe or kayak or planning a fishing trip on the lakes this chart offers a clear image of your position of the beautiful Frisian landscape.

The area this chart covers is from Stavoren, Makkum, Grou to Lemmer. Navigate on the Heegermeer, Fluessen, Morra, Oudegaster Brekken, Zwarte Brekken and Witte Brekken, Sneekermeer, Koevordermeer, Tjeukemeer, Langweerderwielen, Pikmeer/Wijde Ee and the many ditches, canals and pools.

Depth image

Processed within this chart is a unique, clear depth image received from the Friese Meren Project with beautiful colored depth levels and numbers along the water ways. Developed by Stentec in collaboration with Provincie Fryslân with the most recent depth measurements.

This is a detailed chart with a scale of 1m/pixel, comparable with 1:3.000 on screen. The database accompanied with the chart has 3.393 waypoints and offers all kinds of useful water sports information. For example harbours, buoys, docks, water sport campsites and gas stations.

WinGPS Marine Plus for iOS

After the free app WinGPS Marine for iOS, Stentec releases the extended version WinGPS Marine Plus. This app included premium features and is developed for the iPhone and iPad.

With WinGPS Marine plus for iOS it is possible to wirelessly connect your AIS device. This way you can see the AIS objects on your chart.

NEW - Plot a route with single points on open water, or plan the route over the waterway network taking into account the bridges, locks and restrictions of the waterways, and the dimensions of your ship.

Navigate the waypoints using the course line, Course to Steer and Distance to Go and view and save your route.

For inland waterways you can put the app in course-up mode.

Expected soon

Now that the route planning has been expanded by combining it with the waterway network, this will be optimized in the coming period. After this, we will add GRIB file downloads to WinGPS Marine Plus, for example to show wind and precipitation on the chart. The current and tide information is also planned for the development of WinGPS Marine Plus.

Charts

The charts that can be used in this app, are Stentec’s own DKW-charts. For example the free chart DKW Frisian Lakes or the well-known DKW 1800-series for the Dutch coastal waters, including weekly update services.

At the first start-up of the app, you will be asked to log in with your account. The free default online maps from Apple are available in the app for orientation. The DKW-charts, which are connected to your account, can be downloaded directly in this app and be used for navigation.

Note: only charts from 2018 and newer can be used in this app. Do you have older charts? Then you can renew them in our online shop. Click here to renew your cards >
