Quilted Raster Chart

Fugawi Aboard, a groundbreaking new product from Northport Systems Inc. has just been launched. Designed with new technology, Fugawi Aboard combines U.S. and Canadian raster charts, based on National Oceanic

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) nautical charts, into quilted regions for use on compatible chart plotters. Fugawi Aboard combines over 2,000 NOAA and 600 CHS raster navigation charts all on one convenient quilted product.

Packed with coastline detail for the entire United States and Canada, Fugawi Aboard delivers the look and feel of vector charts with the unmatched detail and familiarity of paper charts. The charts behave like any other electronic cartography, allowing users to zoom and pan, and include meta data for additional information such as the chart name, number and depth soundings.

“We are very excited to announce the release of Fugawi Aboard,” said Robin Martel, president of Northport Systems. “Paper charts of U.S. and Canada have always been popular yet they were nowhere to be seen on chart plotters. Fugawi Aboard opens the door for new possibilities in digital cartography, bringing electronic paper charts to chart plotters everywhere.”

Available now for purchase from leading marine and boating stores throughout North America, the Fugawi Aboard US & Canada plug-and-play product is ready to go. Compatible multifunction plotters include the Simrad NSS and NSO evo2; Lowrance HDS, Elite HD and Elite CHIRP; and B&G Zeus multi-function displays. A downloadable version of Fugawi Aboard is also available on the Navico Insight store.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
