World ENC Charts Now in Nuno Navigator

CherSoft’s professional navigation software Nuno Navigator now has access to a full portfolio of ENC charts from PRIMAR.

ENC charts have traditionally been limited to ECDIS systems. Now, Nuno Navigator is bringing professional quality charts to smaller workboats, back offices, pilots, rig movement specialists and wherever a more complex and expensive ECDIS is not required.

According to its developers, Nuno Navigator is particularly attractive to professionals needing a portable navigation system, who can travel with ENC charts on a rugged laptop.

Simon Salter, director of CherSoft Ltd, said “Using ENC charts has been far too difficult for far too long. We’re excited to make the highest quality of chart data available seamlessly in a modern, professional navigation software product.”

The ENC charts used in Nuno Navigator are collected, redistributed and updated via official channels from individual country hydrographic offices, unlike other widely available electronic charts which are traced manually by private companies from scans of paper charts.

U.K.-based CherSoft has been developing marine data management solutions for 20 years, with a focus on chart and tide data. CherSoft has worked with the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office over a number of years on various digital products, starting over a decade ago with TotalTide, and has recently begun increasing its portfolio with products for the smaller workboat and leisure market.
