Electronic Charts

Here at Geomatix, we have been working for over ten years on ways of distributing source map data to different plotter users, in a compatible way.

The widespread use of satellite positioning systems has been accompanied by a plethora of navigation plotters, each with its own different chart format, making information distribution a nightmare.

If you want to distribute maps to marine users, regardless of which type of plotter they are using, then we have the answer. And the small binary size means charts can be easily delivered by 1.44Mb disk, CD, internet download or email.

Marine plotters currently supported include MaxSea, Sodena, Transas, Chartworx Quod, TheMap, Trax, Northrop Grumman - Sperry Marine Decca Fishmaster, Penta, Sea Information Systems SIS Microplot 7 and FishSAFE, and C-Map with support for more formats being added all the time.

Our system is in regular use by the Seafish Industry Authority, and is used to produce six monthly updates of seabed hazard avoidance charts for the UK fishing industry.
