plot courses for nautical navigation. The chapter is intended to
have you navigating with the basics in the shortest possible time,

already have a working knowledge of Navigator. This chapter
covers the following areas:

Installing, displaying, and manipulating the various chart types

Creating, editing, and implementing waypoints and routes

Getting and using the latest weather and oceanographic reports

About Using Charts with Navigator

Navigator supports all of the popular chart types, including:

Important: Navigator automatically loads a default World Chart
on each start-up. You cannot close this window or uninstall this
