Outline Planner
Outline Planner has all the features of Planner Plus but uses the Neptune outline charts. It was designed for customers who already have a plotter and want the tidal course calculations from tides, streams and wind.
It offers course calculations from inbuilt tidal height, tidal stream and wind routines, producing course to steer, course over ground and optimised departure. GPS track plot, AIS, waypoint manager, GRIB files, Google Earth, course over ground animation, SOLAS compatibility and polar plots are all included, and it incorporates the Neptune tidal heights program.
After a calculation the results are on screen with the vector plot construction shown, so you can cross check your chartwork.
Windows may warn you, or look as though it has blocked the file, before it will let the installer run. That is because our installers are not code signed, not because there is anything wrong with them. Choose Keep, then More info and Run anyway. Step by step, with screenshots.
