Coastal Explorer 2.0 includes many improvements to Coastal Explorer's already legendary usability, performance and reliability as well as some very exciting and exclusive new features.
The Coastal Explorer Network is a new on-line service that provides users with their own space on the Internet that includes:
Coastal Explorer 2.0 also includes a new Synchronization Tool which make makes it easy to get program, data, and chart updates to your computers that do not have direct access to the Internet. This tool is also used to retrieve tracks and log entries from your boat computer in order to save them on your home computer or send them to the Coastal Explorer Network.
Coastal Explorer 2.0 includes a new way of planning routes that makes it easy to plan a departure time based on a desired arrival time. The new Route Timeline Planning Tool even takes tidal current predictions into account when estimating your cruising time!
The timeline tool plots your route on a time scale, lets you move any waypoint to the time you want to be at its location, and automatically adjusts the times of all the other waypoints in the route. It has never been easier to determine the right time to start cruising!
Coastal Explorer 2.0 provides many more customization options including the ability to create new operational modes which are customized arrangements of different types of views (such as charts, radar, and video) and instrument panels. These operational modes can be used to provide exactly the information you want, in the format you want, for various tasks such as cruising, entering a harbor, fishing, docking, or anchoring.
Coastal Explorer 2.0 can display video from any Windows® compatible video camera. Now you can monitor your engine room, swim platform, or aft view on the same display you use for your charts.
Rose Point offers a variety of radar sensors that work with Coastal Explorer 2.0 to provide radar images overlaid on the chart as well as in a side-by-side radar and chart display.

We are also working on providing world-wide chart coverage by adding support for Navionics® charts. This functionality will be made available later this year as an update to Coastal Explorer 2.0.
The final pricing of Coastal Explorer 2.0 has not been determined yet, but it will be provided as a free upgrade to all registered Coastal Explorer 1.1 users!
We are currently running a beta testing program that is open to all registered Coastal Explorer 1.1 users. For more information, or to sign up for the beta, please visit coastalexplorer.net
