DKW UK1 English & Scottish East Coast

The third quarter update of the DKW UK 1 for the English and Scottish East Coast is online! Do you have the 2022 edition of this chart? Download this update now for free in your WinGPS.

A total of 144 files have been modified with BaZ updates (Notices to Mariners) or new chart editions. As usual, this concerns the dynamic estuaries such as the Thames, Humber and Tyne where the waterways often change.

 

DKW 1801 North Sea coast

There is a new edition of the 1801 North Sea coast, from Den Helder to De Panne (BE). You can download this as a BaZ update with the DKW 1801.

Ideal to combine with the DKW UK1 for a crossing to Great Britain.

What's new: 
  • The wind farms that are currently being constructed or expanded (Princess Amelia, Hollandse Kust-Zuid and Borssele) are on the chart with their new boundaries. The cabling is also shown.
  • In the Belgian North Sea, a number of light beacons have been provided with additional information.
  • New depth measurements have been made and this has resulted in an improved depth picture in a number of places: In the Western Scheldt near Vlissingen, between Goeree-Overflakkee and Schouwen-Duivenland and the Molengat between Den Helder and Texel.

DKW Northern France

There is a new major update for the DKW Northern France. This clear chart provides all the information you need for your journeys on the beautiful northern French inland waterways, such as the Seine, Oise, Somme and Meuse, and fits seamlessly with our other inland waterways charts.

What's new: 
  • The data from the ENC chart of the Seine upstream from Paris has been processed: A fairway has now been marked and the shipping signs and buoys have now been placed on the chart.
  • Previously, all geographical names were in one waypoint group, which is now divided into place names, water names and other geographical names including road numbers.
  • Work is currently underway on the reconstruction of the Pommeroeul-Condé canal, between the French Scheldt and Belgium. In anticipation of the reopening, the bed is indicated on the chart.
  • At km. 29, a new marina has been constructed along the Oise with a lock and apartments at l'Isle Adam. The new situation is on the chart.
  • Detailed charts have also been added.
 

Complete navigation solution

Do you want to optimize your navigation system on board? Often more is possible than expected. For example, you can view the data from your on-board instruments, such as the AIS and depth sounder, simultaneously on your laptop, tablet and smartphone.

What is new?

  • The Frisian Lakes contain the latest depth measurements.

  • The water names are shown as waypoints on the chart, so they rotate with you.

 Update and test

Before you can plan your journey in WinGPS, it is wise to update both your WinGPS and the digital charts to the latest versions. This way you have the most recent information and you can sail as safely as possible.

We recommend that you always test your laptop and GPS receiver if you have not used it for a longer period. A GPS rollover took place in 2019, as a result of which some GPS receivers no longer function properly. Also, many older GPS receivers do not work with Windows 11. So you may have to switch to a new GPS receiver.

  
Windows 11

The new BU353-s4 works well with Windows 11. The GNS 3000, a bluetooth GPS receiver, also functions well in combination with Windows 11. The MR-350s4 unfortunately not yet, a solution is still being worked on.
