planning and plotting of simple or complex routes. These can be stored and re-used,
even changed whilst in use to take changing weather conditions or other factors into
account.

RNS uses the latest digitized versions of the paper charts traditionally used in marine
navigation, and supports the following chart formats:
• C-Map NT and NT Plus.
• Maptech NOAA/BSB.
•Maptech PCX.
• Maptech Photo Regions and Topographical charts.

Comprehensive Weather/ Oceanographic reporting
RNS offers you the capability to download and display the latest weather and ocean
conditions, and then superimpose this information upon your charts in several layers.
Weather and oceanographic charts (in GRIB format) can be downloaded directly from
the Internet or requested via e-mail. These files can be animated to show predicted
weather conditions over a specified period of time. Typical weather files contain
information in 6, 12 or 24 hour intervals, covering a period of several days, giving you
a comprehensive presentation of atmospheric and marine conditions.
