NavPak is a graphic program for navigation and piloting on a digital chart image.  It can be used with scanned charts and maps, or without as a digital plotting sheet and drawing program.   NavPak has a NMEA interface for satellite navigation (GPS), and a complete collection of traditional navigation tools and drawing tools.

When NavPak is used with NMEA data, it will plot your position as a marker on the chart, manage waypoints, and provide course and distance to a waypoint. The traditional tools include:  Celestial sight reduction and plotting, star and planet finder, draw great circles, plot bearings, draw line relative, measure distance, advance LOP, and a time-speed-distance  calculator.   

Graphic drawing tools include:  plot markers, draw straight lines, draw freehand, color fill areas, and place text strings.  All drawing and plotting can be saved as a Windows Metafile.

Included with NavPak is a program called MapSetup, which makes it easy to scan and calibrate your own charts to use with NavPak.

This demo contains working copies of 32-bit NavPak and MapSetup with limited functions and requires Windows 95.
