All software, except HP33D – NLTides edition 2009 and HP1D Digipilot, are freeware. If you link to one of these programs, make sure that you mention the programs are products of the RNLN.

CNAV 4.1

Classical navigation provides course, distance, tidal and celestial navigation calculation for use in voyage planning and execution. The use of CNAV allows these calculations to be performed both quickly and accurately.
DECCA 1.0.1
DECCA is a windows based program for converting between Decca lane counts and geographic/UTM grid co-ordinates on either the WGS84 or ED50 datum.
Batchprocessing to and from plain ASCII files is possible.
PCTrans 4.2.6





PCTrans is a windows based program used for geodetic and hydrographic computations. The program works with several map projections and will provide datum transformations, geodesic and loxodrome calculations and area calculations where earth curvature needs to be taken into account. All computed co-ordinates can be plotted on the screen together with the Netherlands coastline, part of the English coastline and the Dutch continental shelf blocks or coastlines of the whole world.

HP33D – NLTides edition 2009 provides the official height predictions for all significant ports from Nieuwpoort in Belgium to List in Germany and streams for the Southern North Sea, the Netherlands part of the Waddenzee, Scheldt, Tidal river area and main port approaches. Compared with the HP33, NLTides provides more ports however the predicted tidal heights for the Netherlands ports and the stream information are consistent.

The tidal height predictions for Belgian and German ports in NLTides are equivalent to the predictions of the UKHO tidal prediction software TotalTide. Predicted heights referred to MLLWS and LAT. The program NLTides is an official equivalent of paper tide tables in accordance with SOLAS V/2.2 and V/19.2.1.5. It may replace traditional paper tide tables HP33 provided that appropriate back-up arrangements are available (e.g. print facility or 2nd installed program) NLTides is an annual edition providing tidal predictions valid for one calendar year.

Edition 2009 is valid from 1st November 2008 until 31st December 2009.

HP1D – DigiPilot

 

 


Digipilot is an official Digital Nautical Publication, developed and issued by the Hydrographer of the Royal Netherlands Navy. Digipilot provides the mariner with the necessary information to plan his voyage in an interactive and versatile manner. It contains Sailing Directions and supplementary Port Information in various interactive geographic and thematic layers, but also tidal information, Deep Draught Planning Guide (Greenwich Buoy to Europoort) and the Mariners Routing Guide for the Southern North Sea. For more information and a demo of the program click on: “HP1D DigiPilot”.
TSP 3.4.1 TSP is a Microsoft windows based program to reduce the number of points of a file with line information. The line information can be given in WGS84 or ED50 coordinates.
