GPSNavX™ is the very affordable solution for the boater that wants to take the Mac aboard for real-time display of position on full color marine raster BSB and Softcharts. Plug your GPS into your Mac and watch as your boat moves along in real-time, plotting a track behind the boat and logging your historic position on a digital chart.

GPSNavX™ is right at home for planning trips and charting new destinations. A GPS is not required to work with charts.

Chart plotters play a number of different roles in boat navigation. Many are used at the helm where they provide a real-time picture of the boat’s position relative to a chart. Others are primarily used at a chart table for voyage planning and as a means for automatically recording the track of the vessel for use in future voyages. While the majority of chart plotters are dedicated devices using embedded software it is also possible to use a general-purpose computer loaded with specialized software. The latter choice makes it possible to update the plotter software when desired and makes the computer available to support whatever other applications the user may require.
