Radar image overlay
- Radar image overlay is implemented by using a dedicated external board (radar processor RP) supplied with the program.
- Radar control functions on the program screen
- Automatic and manual ARPA target acquisition.
- Cross-identification (integration) of AIS and ARPA targets.

Ship model generator and maneuvering predictions
- Ship motion modeling based on hull response parameters, engine performance modes, etc., with account for gyration and inertia.
- Display of maneuver line, exact locations of turning points, etc.

- Actual AtoN location marker on the chart
- Emailing the project report


Massive object tugging mode
In this mode the leading tow is controlled with the use of GPS and Furuno CP-500 gyro compass on the leading tug and two GPS receivers with modems at two locations on the tugged object.
Print out of the chart
A pre-defined area of a chart can be printed out including user layer and external database objects in it.
