With low cost but powerful PCs and reliable WindowsTM operating
systems now widely available, the time has never been better to enjoy the
benefits of high quality ARCS digital charting on your PC or quality chart plotter.
An invaluable passage planning tool – Leave your paper charts on the
boat - and plan next weekend's trip in comfort using ARCS charts on
your home PC. Plot waypoints and routes, mark danger areas, upload
waypoints/routes to your handheld GPS, even print out routes and fullcolour
chartlets on waterproof paper*
It is little
surprise therefore that ARCS was used during the 2000 BT Global
Challenge, The Times Clipper 2000, and on board four of the
yachts in the Volvo Ocean Race. ARCS was also used by Emma Richards
on 'Pindar' in the Around Alone 2002/02 Race and the 2002 Clipper
Round The World Yacht Race.
"The
debate should not be about raster versus vector, it should
be about good chart versus bad chart. There is no doubt
that the UKHO's reputation for producing quality charts
stands before them and this will not change just because
their charts are available in electronic format."
