About Stentec WinGPS
Stentec WinGPS is a GPS navigation software for Windows that supports plotting precise routes while reading trusted DKW inland and open‑water charts, with regular updates including AIS and weather data via GRIB files. It excels in flexibility, allowing routes to be prepared at home and later followed on board, and even permits chart installation across multiple devices using a single license.
Pros
+ The integration with onboard NMEA instruments like AIS, depth, wind, and tide data makes it especially powerful for safe and well-informed navigation.
+ Frequent updates of digital water charts (e.g., the DKW 1800 series with weekly BaZ updates) ensure chart data stays current and reliable
+ Functions: Autopilot, AIS, Weather, Currents, Tides and Water heights are included.
Cons
- Learning curve: newcomers may find it complex to master initially the software’s interface and it's advanced features like route optimization and GRIB integration.
- The installation process can be somewhat complex, requiring account activation, use of the DKW Manager, attention to antivirus/firewall settings and connecting and setting up onboard sensors.
- Radar overlays are not available.
