In addition, to cover a large trip, le nombre de « cellules » à acheter pour disposer des cartes générales aux cartes les plus détaillées peut représenter un budget conséquent. However, we must be aware that the ENC does not cover in detail all parts of the world, and comparisons made in several areas of the globe with Navionics show a lack of details as you move away from the main routes and areas frequented by merchant shipping ( ⁴). No wonder an advanced version is offered to professional pilots. It is such an application we will find on the navigation room of merchant ships. For those sailing in the Pacific Ocean, the application allows the passage of the International Date Line, that does not iNavX with Navionics. SummaryĪs you can see from this quick lookup SEAiq is a rather reserved application for leasure boaters, professional or experienced, who wish to have a formal charting can be updated.
