Preamble
Dear Customer,

The last months have been very busy. Many of you ordered an update and we welcomed a lot of new customers for PC-Navigo 2019. We have been on the Dutch exhibition Boot Holland, a very busy booth as always, and a good occasion for us te be in contact with the customers. For pleasure craft users we still have the Nauticast Class B transponder in stock, a transponder with a very good price/value rate.

The new software version of PC- Navigo 2019 has been well received by the market. We have only got some comments on the blue colour of the main icons so we have published a patch now with new coloured icons in the top menu bar. You can download this patch via this link or you will be warned at startup of the PC Navigo for a new version.

Tim Mestdag and Joost Lorijn, Team Noordersoft

Patch

Patch 1.4.1 is available starting today (6-3-2019). You will automatically receive a notification when you start up PC-Navigo, but you may also download it from our site. We have renewed our icons. You may now freely adjust which icons are shown and which are hidden.

Notices to skippers (NTS)

In December 2018 a new legislation for (electronic) Notices to Skipper has been published by the European Union. This standard has to be used by all waterway authorities for the publication of digital Notices to Skipper including water levels and ice messages. You can download and read the messages via the yellow/black (image) icon the right side of the menu bar.

You can select the country or region and the type of messages to download. The messages will be shown in the language of the user. The content and wording are always in a standardised way so can read also more complex languages as Hungarian, Polish or Bulgarian. Water levels can contain als predictions in the same message. Water levels in the Netherlands can be downloaded for the main fairways via the NTS service. A complete overview of the water levels in the Netherlands can be found via the Options - Pegel download menu.
