How to get free navigation software

OK, I'll be the guinea pig! Want ECDIS or at least a decent nav program on your laptop but don't want to spend the bucks? Try Sea Clear II. For a free program it works pretty darn well. You can tie in your AIS, Radar, Autopilot, Gyro, and GPS into it without too much headache. You can download the NOAA ENC's for free as well.

TO download the program go to见附件【下载免费导航软件seaclear】 , scroll down the page to the downloads section and click on the 1st one, the full install with manual. When complete you will have 3 items, the program itself, a users manual, and a chart calibration program called MapCal. The User manual is extremely helpful and will walk you through anything you need but if you are like me you may need to read thru it a dozen times or so. Once you have everything downloaded be sure to create desktop shortcuts to each of the programs.

To download the charts go to见附件【去下载海图资源】and scroll about half way down the page to the "proceed to downloads" button. Follow the instructions to download the charts you want or need (I suggest just getting the ones you need first then once you figure it out you can get all you want). The charts will show up on your computer in a zip file. Open the the zipped file and you will see each chart in its own folder. Open the individual chart folder and extract all the files with the ".KAP" extension and copy them into the SeaClear "Charts" folder. It should be in your computer (PC) in the following folder path: Computer/Local Disc (C)/Program Files/Sea Clear/Charts. Once you have transferred all the .KAP files to this folder you close everything out. Now open the MapCal utility from the desktop icon you created. Click on the "tools" button in the upper left menu, go to autoload list then click "scan for new charts".When the scanning function is complete close everything out and start Sea Clear and check to make sure the charts loaded ok.

有兴趣的人可以继续看下去，对软件有介绍的，我软件已装，图正在下载，没办法打开。但GPS已经连上【图中小圆圈就是我家位置】，经纬度显示不正常，应该是软件需安装在英文系统内的，可连接AIS。各位可看说明书。大家慢慢研究。
