As trainers and practitioners of maritime navigation, we at Picksea were immediately seduced by the NV-Charts packs and the pragmatic approach of their designers. The main assets of these products are :

  • Quality and practicality of the formats (A3 opening into A2), protective pockets, thickness of the paper and ink resistance to gumming
  • Conformity of the information: the information on the charts is based on data from official cartographers (national hydrographic services, for example SHOM for France).
  • Quality of the graphics and design: less "austere" than the charts of SHOM, the NV-Charts are easy to use with a little colour "but not too much" and a lot of little tricks (drawing of the headlights during the day, conventional direction systematically indicated, etc...)
  • Practicality, simplicity and quality of the NVapp application on an electronic support equipped with a GPS chip and which is used with the downloaded electronic charts: ease of plotting and positioning of waypoints, indication of currents, calculation of tide heights, easy tracking and course resetting, etc
