For safe navigation you can best use digital water charts which Stentec offers you in the Google Play ™ store or in the online shop on www.stentec.com. When purchasing a chart you get a license code which you can activate on 2 separate machines (with a third backup activation). This enables you to use the charts on your Android device as well as on your laptop/PC.

If you purchased charts using Google Play™, you need to connect them with your account to use them in WinGPS™ Marine. You can do this 2 hours after purchase. If you purchased the charts via www.stentec.com, this will go automatically.

The easiest way to do this is with a USB cable.Examples of NOAA/BSB charts are: United States, Brazil, New Zealand, and all charts you create with DKW Builder (scanned charts).
