Description

Comfort and safety along the navigation

Especially developed for cruising enthusiasts, Octopus helps you to anticipate your navigation serenely for best comfort and optimum safety along the voyage.

Routing calculation

Routing calculation can be customized according to the sailor’s preferences – fastest or most comfortable route for example – and a time of arrival can be set up.

A graphical display indicates the day/night periods to provide a safer navigation.

Polars

Wizzard assistant for real speed polar creation is provided. The function offers a more accurate and reliable routing that corresponds to the boat potential.

Mooring assistance

Graphical interface of the conditions to be expected on the chosen mooring area: weather forecast, sea level according to the tide, etc.

Multiple functions linked to safety such as MOB, AIS and alarms (AIS, mooring, arrival on coasts, custom alarms).
