Total navigation for the professional mariner

seaPro Pilot provides a powerful yet easy to use 'carry on-board' solution for ship Pilots, who want their own independent navigation and information system, removing the reliance on the the ships own ECDIS/Navigation system.

The pilot system interfaces to the ships data using the pilot plug on the ships AIS transponder, giving instant access to ships Position, Heading, COG/SOG/Rate of Turn and AIS targets.

seaPro Pilot supports S57 cells (both encoded and non encoded) as well as other formats such as ARCS (skipper and Navigator services), BSB/BSB4 etc.
