Free DGPS CD from Veritas
Elsewhere on the DGPS front, Veripos is offering Verichart, a free CD-based mapping facility for producing detailed charts of its proprietary Differential GPS HF and Inmarsat-delivered correction service networks for Africa, North West Europe, North and South America, Trinidad and Caspian and Mediterranean offshore areas.
The 200kHz shallow water system is due to be installed this month aboard a new catamaran research vessel which will be used for mapping operations in association with the Geological Survey of Finland.
Designed for high quality documentation required for planning, evaluation and reporting functions, compilation formats include PDF in addition to graphical images in TIF, JPG, BMP, PNG and PS. Accurate and highly detailed vector maps are used with dynamic resolution enhancement. Overlays on to maps include individual station locations, names and ID’s as well as configurable range contours, satellite footprints and illuminated working areas with listed ranges to reference stations.
Verichart is available on e-mail request direct from Veripos’ main Aberdeen-based helpdesk at veripos. helpdesk@subsea7. com
