Sailing, OpenSeaMap and Robotics

 
Bekijk de pagina's over het maken van een polair diagram, of de B&G Hydra/H2000 informatie voor wedstrijdschepen en de Fastnet bus. The new Zeus Touch.
 
Verder een lijst met verschillende (wedstrijd) navigatie programma's, het importeren van boeien/waypoints in WinGPS en calibratie tips & trics.
 
Sail simulator is een mooie manier om in de winter op de PC te (wedstrijd)zeilen, met NMEA uitvoer, zodat gelijk in WinGPS (Pro/Voyager) ook de route gevolgd kan worden.
