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.

Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
