New Admiral, VNS Version 9 & Three Plus Packs: Sailing, XM, and Tender Tracker

Jeppesen Marine just launched Nobeltec Admiral Version 9, Visual Navigation Suite (VNS) Version 9, and three new add-on features, known as "plus packs."
 
These new products give customers more choices and continue to raise the bar for navigational PC software. Admiral and VNS 9 combine powerful electronic charting solutions with new features found in each plus pack to deliver an attractive and easy-to-use platform. More importantly, upgrade pricing is designed to provide you the opportunity to upgrade and align with Nobeltec’s annual releases.

"The new Plus Packs highlight the power and performance of our navigation software. The solution is highly customized for the navigator’s specific situation." said Shepard Tucker, Jeppesen Marine General Manager. "Each unique Plus Pack delivers outstanding features to address customer demands in the sailing and yachting markets, as well as crucial weather information for safe navigation."

Admiral & VNS 9 Highlights

Unique features of Admiral and VNS Version 9 include:
 
 AIS Filtering (Admiral only)
 GRIB Weather Support
 Hand Panning Tool
 Nav Info Panels for easy display of important data
   (1 panel in VNS, up to 4 panels in Admiral)
 Strip Charts – A histogram for quick analysis of incoming data

Version 9 also supports the display of GRIB weather files right over vector or raster charts. You may download GRIB (version 1 or 2) from your favorite weather data provider and simply open the file inside of the software.

Tender Tracker Plus Pack™ (Admiral™ Only)
 
Tender Tracker Plus Pack, designed specifically for large and mega yachts, works with Admiral 9 and a remote hardware unit (the Seetrac® Tender Tracking™ solution), to display and monitor tender locations from Admiral software. Tender Tracker works by:
 
 Fitting an SBU (Seetrac® Base) unit onto the main
   vessel as well as installing a remote unit onto the tender.
   (Hardware sold separately)
 The base unit, receiving signals from the tender units
   (including Lat/Lon positions, SOG, COG, wind speed, direction,
   depth if there is a depth finder onboard), displays tender
   locations and information onscreen within Admiral 9.

Also, tender boundaries for these vessels are defined and allow users to further track tenders by the sounding of an alarm whenever a tender crosses a boundary.

Product Part Number: RSRXX00001
SRP: $1,500 USD

Please visit a qualified Nobeltec dealer or call the Jeppesen Marine Sales Department at (800) 946-2877.

*Sailing, XM, and Tender Tracker Plus Packs sold separately and require Admiral or VNS Version 9. Tender Tracker Plus Pack works with Admiral Version 9 only.
