The Navi-Sailor 3000 has inherited the best from the latest Windows technology and the increased power of PC hardware.

Crucial improvements have been made to the system's user interface to maximise flexibility and convenience for the user without sacrificing the accuracy of navigational information.

Often regarded as a mere computerised replacement for paper charts, mariners who have used ECDIS quickly discover its true worth as an integrated navigation tool. Transas' navigation systems development philosophy aims to achieve a 40:60 ratio between the required minimum performance capability (40%) and useful navigation functionality (60%) that is in addition to (not instead of) what is required by the IMO Performance Standards for ECDIS.

In addition to displaying required ENC data and meeting all the functional requirements for ECDIS, the Navi-Sailor 3000 can display other forms of information including: Navtex messages, radar overlay/ARPA, AIS integration and display, trial manoeuvring/simulation, weather (wind speed, direction, etc), oceanographic (wave and tidal heights, current flow and direction), as well as Transas Marine's own vector data format (TX-97).

Significant new capabilities offered by Navi-Sailor 3000 include integrated weather forecasting, multiple chart display and user-selectable screen layout, advanced route planning, radar overlay and playback facilities, North-up/ course-up/head-up chart display modes, relative and true motion display, and advanced UAIS transponder interface. The Navi-Sailor has been designed with the IMO requirements for Integrated Navigational Systems.
