DKW the Netherlands

The DKW The Netherlands is developed for sailors, motorboaters and commercial use. The DKW The Netherlands is the most up-to-date inland water chart, thanks to all available updates throughout the year.

All Dutch inland waters are incorporated: the salty waters of Zeeland, the stirring rivers of Limburg and the small canoe fosses in Friesland. The DKW the Netherlands is great in combination with a paid version of WinGPS. Use the route network for a quick and easy way to plan routes along the Dutch inland waters.

Chart image

Stentecs inland water charts are so-called hybrid charts. The bottom surface is a raster format. This is where a.o. the quays, depths and buildings are shown. All other navigational information is projected on top of this through waypoints. These waypoints remain the same size when zooming in or out. The chart can be fully personalized by adding or removing certain waypoint groups and showing you only the information you select.

In total, the DKW the Netherlands has 30.960 waypoints, with a.o. buoys, harbours, moorings, Marrekrite moorings, diesel tank stations, watersport campsites, VHF channels, electric chargers ‘Elektrisch Varen’ and ‘Varen Doe Je Samen’ nodes.

Specifically for commercial shipping waterway signs and VIN moorings are added.
