Down Load Demo Programs:
The NavPak demo is a working copy of the Professional edition without the GPS plotting. All other features are enabled.
The demo can be used as a chart viewer, route planner, and for navigation using traditional coastal and celestial techniques. The demo also includes a simulator function that allows you to simulate and control a GPS, RADAR and AIS. Included are the complete Help files for NavPak and MapSetup.
The demo includes a few small sample charts to illustrate some common chart file formats. To get the full effect of a charting system on your PC, you should have 3 or 4 different scale charts or maps of your area, then you can build a Chart Library as explained in the NavPak help file. A Chart Library will allow you to use the demo to quickly move in and out through detail levels of your area. A Sample chart set to build a Chart Library is available below.The NavPak demo program is contained in a zip file named: navpak-demo.zip. You can install it by any of the normal conventions to install a Windows program. It also works with the Install feature in WinZip, or you can open and install it manually. Please read the file Readme.txt contained in the zip file.
The installation will not add any hidden files, and it will not change any other
files or system settings. Uninstall is clean and easy.
