Smarter chart Digital Yacht has launched the world’s first Chart Plotter with a built-in dual channel high performance AIS receiver. The new SmarterChart 500A is one of a range of five-inch plotters, all of which will run all the features and functions of the latest C-Map Max cartography, including satellite data imagery, animated buoys and lights. Of course, most of the current generation of chart plotters will accept and display AIS data, regardless of make or model, but integrating an AIS receiver within the plotter makes installation significantly easier and more reliable -- not to mention cheaper! Priced at £549,95 (but with a £50 discount from Digital Yacht's sister companies Marine Electronic Services and Cactus Marine), the Smarter Chart 500A is so competitively priced that it could well find its way onto many larger craft as a stand-alone AIS display. www.mesltd.co.uk
