## Description

Uses the AIS and GPS on your existing instruments to show your position and other boats in your vicinity in a 3D graphics view. Calculates how close you get to other boats and determines whether you pass in front or behind. In simulation mode, it can show you where you will be in the future relative to other boats. In this mode, you can also test scenarios such as changing your speed or direction.<br><br>It is recommended to try the free BatNav demo version to ensure compatibility with your boat hardware before purchasing the full version.
