Compare Chart Navigator Pro vs. Highcharts

Whether you have a love for cruising, fishing, day-sailing, or any activity that takes you across the water, Maptech® enhances your experience and simplifies your adventures. Their flagship product, Chart Navigator Pro, is a comprehensive GPS planning and chart-plotting software designed for boaters of all kinds. With a USB Flash Drive that is user-friendly and includes intricate cartography of the United States, users gain access to various chart types such as Raster Charts, Photo Charts, Topographic Maps, and 3D Contour Charts alongside a robust suite of software tools. This software enables you to visualize your real-time GPS location right on your computer screen, provided you connect it to an industry-standard NMEA 0183 GPS. By linking an AIS device to your computer along with your GPS, you can track not only your own vessel's position but also that of others nearby. Furthermore, the ability to overlay or warp raster charts onto 3D charts offers a realistic perspective that mirrors what you would see from the helm, with buoys illuminating in their correct sequence for enhanced navigation. As a result, Maptech® ensures that each journey on the water is not only enjoyable but also safe and efficient.

Highcharts, a Javascript-based charting library, makes it easy to add interactive charts and graphs to web or mobile projects of any size. Highcharts is used by more than 80% of the 100 biggest companies in the world, as well as thousands of developers from a variety of industries, including finance, publishing, application development, and data science. Highcharts is in active development since 2009. It remains a favorite among developers due to its robust feature set and ease-of-use documentation, accessibility features and vibrant community.
