MapMedia Raster and Vector Chart Library

Freely choose the charts that fit your individual needs and preference. MapMedia's NOAA Raster and Vector charts for the U.S. Coasts, Gulf of Mexico, Alaska and Hawaii come pre-loaded. In addition, MapMedia brings you free satellite photos and detailed fishing bathymetric charts that can be download for the U.S. Outside of the U.S., "C-MAP" and "Datacore by Navionics" vector cartography can be purchased and downloaded to your NavNet with ease. MapMedia cartography integrates cutting edge algorithms with high resolution image processing techniques to deliver a fusion of digital navigation charts and satellite photography. 

Satellite PhotoFusion™ offers a birds-eye view without obstruction of critical data

You can load any two ultra-wide high-resolution satellite photo areas at your convenience. Land areas (zero depth) are completely opaque, so these areas are displayed as high-resolution satellite photos on the chart. As the depth increases, the satellite photography becomes more transparent. This allows you to see where the shallows end and the deeper water begins, while still allowing the raster or vector chart to be visible.

Free & easy-to-use marine weather forecasts

The weather tool is completely free and easy to use, giving you unlimited access to weather forecasts worldwide 24 hours a day provided by NavCenter. Select geographic coverage, data type, period of time, and then choose how to receive the file. NavNet TZtouch2 provides up to 16 days of weather forecasting.

Maretron Vessel Data Recorder Includes M003029 VDR100 [VDR100-01]

Vessel Data Recorder Includes M003029 VDR100

Maretron's Vessel Data Recorder (VDR100) is used to record messages transmitted from every product interconnected on the vessel's NMEA 2000® network. Each message is stored using solid-state memory technology with simple data retrieval via a removable USB flash drive. The supplied 16 Gbyte USB Flash Drive will hold weeks or more of data, and with the optional purchase of a larger USB Flash Drive, a year or more of data can be stored. And you never have to worry about losing the most recent data because the VDR100 uses a circular buffer where the oldest data is overwritten only after the entire memory is filled.

Recorded vessel data can be used in many ways including performance analysis, vessel tracking, preventative maintenance, network diagnostics, warranty incident, and accident investigation, all in an effort to reduce operating cost and improve safety. As an example of how the recorded data might be used, consider an NMEA 2000® fuel flow monitor plugged into the network, which will provide a complete record of how much fuel was used and how fast it was used. With a GPS antenna/receiver plugged into the NMEA 2000® network, you will have a complete record of where the vessel has been including its speed and course over ground.

Analyzing and graphing recorded data is done using a spreadsheet program like Microsoft® Excel®. Simply remove the USB Flash Drive and plug it into a PC or Mac and run Maretron's free extraction software (N2KExtractor®). Choose any or all of the recorded data including the associated dates and times and the program will create a comma delimited file (.csv) that can be read into a spreadsheet for graphing or any other type of data analysis.

With the VDR100, you have a complete record of all the information produced by NMEA 2000® products connected to the vessel's network. And because the VDR100 is engineered and manufactured to the highest standards (IEC 60945 Maritime Navigation and Radio Communication Equipment), your data is safely protected in a compact waterproof housing.

USB Flash Drives

Depending on how much data you wish to record without overwriting older data, the following table can be used to determine the capacity of the USB Flash Drive you need. These figures are estimated assuming a 25% loaded system (approx 463 frames/second).

Features:

• Data recorded on solid state memory via removable USB flash drive
• Circular buffer preserves latest recorded data while oldest data overwritten when memory is full
• Recorded data available for performance analysis, vessel tracking, preventive maintenance, and more
• Optional waterproof USB flash drive cover
• Free data extraction software (N2KExtractor®) builds comma delimited files for data analysis
