ELECTRONICS UPDATE Si-Tex Introduces Next Generation Electronic Charting System —Literature Available— The NAV-ADD 3000 is the next generation of electronic charting systems from Si-Tex. It is a substan- tially upgraded version of the popu- lar NAV-ADD 2000 introduced last year. You just add the NAV-ADD 3000 to your Loran, Satnav, GPS, Decca or Omega, insert a Digimap car- tridge and you have a bright visual display of your position on an elec- tronic video chart. Show the NAV-ADD 3000 where you want to go with a cursor on the screen and at the touch of a button, it will plot the most direct course to any point on the chart from your present position. A Dynamic Status Window digitally displays your pre- sent position Lat/Lon coordinates, speed and course over ground, range bearing and time-to-go to your se- lected waypoint. Navigation page displays your selected waypoint coordinates, leg distances, total dis- tance from starting point, true headings, compass headings and to- tal time to go. As you travel to your waypoints, the NAV-ADD 3000 will automati- cally update your position on the chart, pan and scroll the chart to keep your vessel within the display, indicate any cross-track error and your position relative to land. It can even drive your autopilot to your destination via NMEA 0180 inter- face. Si-Tex NAV-ADD 3000 Electronic Charting System. Utilizing a full 16-bit central pro- cessing unit, the NAV-ADD 3000 offers a plotting capacity of up to 2,800 nautical miles of track, 10 independent tracks, 280 waypoints and 50 event markers. As a word of caution, the Si-Tex NAV-ADD 3000 Electronic Chart- ing System and Digimap charts are not designed to replace your stan- dard NOAA navigation charts. Any electronic navigation device should be operated along with the prudent use of reliable manual backup mate- rial.
