Introduction to BoatCruiser
BoatCruiser is the ideal PC-based electronic chart viewing and navigation aid for
recreational and professional boaters. Developed by NavSim Technology Inc.
[www.navsim.com], BoatCruiser’s principal functions include viewing and managing
Nautical Charts and Topographic Maps as well as tracking the vessel’s position in
real-time with a compatible GPS receiver and Autopilot.
BoatCruiser HELP
BoatCruiser includes a comprehensive built in HELP function located at the top of the
screen in the Main Menu. The HELP function offers two Options: HELP (F1) and the
Quick Start Menu (F2).
HELP:
The HELP option contains information about all aspects of BoatCruiser functionality.
There are three ways of accessing what you are looking for. HELP Contents contains a
thematic listing of BoatCruiser functions, HELP Index lists all available topics in alphabetical order and HELP Search allows for a key word search. Click on any topic in the
explorer window and HELP will appear for that topic in the main HELP view. Click BACK
to return to the previous page.
Quick Start Menu:
The Quick Start Menu consists of Wizards and Tutorials aimed at helping you with a
number of common BoatCruiser functions.
•Wizards perform basic tasks for you including Searching for available charts
on your PC and Configuring Peripheral devices such as GPS or AIS that you
may wish to connect.
•Tutorials provide quick step by step overviews of how certain common
functions work in BoatCruiser (e.g., Working with Routes, AIS)
BoatCruiser and the Global Positioning System (GPS)
BoatCruiser shows your exact position, heading and speed in real-time ensuring that
you always know where you are and how to return to your point of origin. All you need is
a GPS Receiver with standard NMEA 0183 output as well as a Serial Port and cable or
wireless Bluetooth connector. More detailed information about working with GPS can be
found in BoatCruiser HELP.
BoatCruiser Main Screen Functions
BoatCruiser allows you to create an unlimited number of personalized screen layouts to
suit your navigation needs. The basic elements of the screen however, remain constant
as follows:
Screen Layouts
One of BoatCruiser’s greatest and most unique advantages is the option to customize
screen layouts to suit each user’s individual needs and preferences.
To get you started, however, BoatCruiser comes with five default layouts including Basic,
Fuel, Planning, Quad and EnRoute. These layouts can be accessed by clicking on the
Layout Tabs at the bottom of the BoatCruiser screen or under Layouts in the Main Menu.
Screen Layouts con’t
• The Basic layout gives you a large chart viewing area with basic navigation
information boxes on the right of the screen. The navigation tools included
in the Basic Layout are Circular Compass, Tripometer, Position, Course Over
Ground, Speed Over Ground and Cross Track Error.
• The Fuel layout focuses on Fuel Consumption. When planning a Route the
estimated speed can be entered in the Fuel Consumption Grid under Boat
Properties. The Fuel panels can then be monitored for cost of Fuel and
consumption rate.
• The Planning layout contains a split screen that allows you to view detailed
Chart or Object information while planning Routes or Creating Markers, Zones
and Text Annotations.
• The Quad layout features four viewing areas; Main Chart View, Navigational
Tools status boxes, Depth Sounder Status and Highway View. The size of the
areas of the quad may be modified if you wish to have a larger viewing area of
the Chart or other Layout panel.
• The advanced EnRoute layout contains more than a dozen navigational
tool options. The left of the screen contains status boxes including device
status and Waypoint information. AIS targets can be viewed on the right side
when AIS (Automatic Identification System) is enabled. Below the list of AIS
Targets, Properties of selected AIS target, the Chart or Chart Objects can
be viewed. The Selector Compass and Satellites are located at the bottom
right of the screen. Directly below the Chart View, the Time Slider can be used
to plan the next voyage or to go back in time to look at Tidal and Simulation
data. Please see Time Management in BoatCruiser HELP for more information.
Context Menus
Another amazing BoatCruiser feature, Context
Menus put a variety of functional tools right at your
fingertips. Simply place the Selector Arrow over
any Chart, Route, Marker, Zone, GPS Trajectory,
Annotation or MyBoat and right-click. A Context
Menu will appear allowing you to instantly Delete,
Modify or Export any chosen object.
NavManager
The NavManager is the brain of BoatCruiser. This control centre and main information
repository lets you monitor and regulate all BoatCruiser settings. The Properties of all
charts and user created objects including Routes, Markers, Zones, GPS Trajectories, My
Boat, Annotations, Locations as well as Peripheral Device Settings can be viewed and
modified in the NavManager
To open the NavManager, click the NavManager button in the Main Toolbar,
or select Tools, then NavManager from the Main Menu. Choosing Properties from any
object’s Context Menu will also open the NavManager.
The NavManager is comprised of three sections:
• the NavManager Toolbar;
• the Explorer View which displays all BoatCruiser objects; and
• the Editing View which shows detailed information about the currently
selected object.
A comprehensive list of all NavManager functions can be found in BoatCruiser HELP.
Basic Operations
Importing Charts
C-MAP MAX charts that come with BoatCruiser must be installed according
to the instructions in the C-MAP MAX/PC Charts Installation Guide above.
Should you prefer to use any other chart format (BSB, S-57, topo) simply open
the Quick Start Menu in the Top Menu Bar and choose the Chart Import
Wizard. The Wizard will search your computer for any available charts and
install them automatically in BoatCruiser.
Panning
Zooming
Panning is the act of moving a chart up, down, side-to-side, or diagonally on
the screen. To pan in the Main Chart View hold down on the left mouse button
to create a Hand Grab. As you move the Hand Grab cursor, the chart will
move (“pan”) in the same direction. You can also use the directional arrow keys
on your keyboard to pan.
The easiest way to Zoom in or out on a chart is by using the scroll wheel of
your mouse. Alternatively, you can use the Zoom In and Zoom Out buttons in
the Main Toolbar (or the + and - keys on the keyboard).
Clicking on the Zoom Box will create a tool for drawing a rectangular area on
the chart. Left click on the chart and drag the tool diagonally over the area you
want to work with. When you release the mouse button, the screen will Zoom
in to the area you selected.
Creating Routes
There is nothing simpler! Just click on the Create Route button in the Main
Toolbar and plot Waypoints the in the Main Chart View as desired. End the
Route by double clicking on the last Waypoint you want to create.
You can view and change the properties of any Route by choosing Properties
in the Route Context Menu. More detailed information about working with
Routes, can be found in BoatCruiser HELP.
Creating Markers
To create a Marker, click on the Create Marker button in the Main Toolbar,
then left-click anywhere in the Main Chart View to insert the Marker. You can
view and change the properties of any Marker by choosing Properties in the
Marker Context Menu. More detailed information about working with Markers,
can be found in BoatCruiser HELP.
Basic Operations con’t
Creating Zones
To create a Zone, click and release the Create Zone button in the Main Toolbar.
Move the cursor out to the Main Chart View and click repeatedly to insert Zone
Waypoints. End the Zone by double clicking on the last Waypoint you want to
make. You can view and change the properties of any Zone by choosing
Properties in the Zone Context Menu. More detailed information about working
with Zones, can be found in BoatCruiser HELP.
Printing
BoatCruiser’s Printing capabilities are unmatched. You can calibrate the level
of detail of the chart and any objects it contains by defining the number of
pages to be printed. To Print, select File then Print from the Main Menu. The
resulting printout of the current view will include the page number, date, and
time of the printing in the page’s footer. More detailed information about
Printing can be found in BoatCruiser HELP.
Saving in BoatCruiser
BoatCruiser will AUTOMATICALLY save any Charts, Routes, Markers, Zones,
GPS Trajectories, Simulations, Annotations and Locations that are present in
the system when you exit the program. The next time you open BoatCruiser, all
saved objects and settings will appear exactly as you left them.
Additional Information
CHART DATUM
What is a datum?
A datum is a model used to define the size, shape and centre of the earth. It is used
to establish latitude and longitude coordinate locations for points on the Earth’s surface.
Why are datums important?
There are a variety of datums in active use, resulting in the possibility that coordinates
of a given location, calculated using one datum may differ by hundreds of feet from
the same coordinates calculated from another datum. Before relying on any coordinate
location information, it is important to know what datum was used in establishing
the coordinates.
When datums are unknown.
The World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) is the most commonly used worldwide
datum. BoatCruiser will display all coordinates in the WGS84 datum. To do this,
coordinates may have to be “shifted” into the WGS84 datum. In some cases BoatCruiser
will be unable to determine the original datum of charts, or be unable to shift the datum
into the WGS84 datum. In these cases, BoatCruiser will assume the chart datum to be
WGS84 and display “Assuming WGS84” in red letters in the Chart Properties page.
