VECTOR CHARTSLand Information New Zealand provides both RNC (raster) and ENC (vector) charts.The RNC Charts in iSailGPS NZ differ from computer-drawn vector charts in that each chart covers a specific area, the same way a paper nautical chart does. A new chart is switched to when traveling out of the area covered by the previous chart. For most locations, there are multiple charts at different scales with different levels of detail & areas of coverage.Paper charts can contain multiple panels, each showing a different area or scale. Each digital panel is individually displayed by iSailGPS NZ with a north-up orientation.iSailGPS NZ is priced to make it readily available to all sailors.DEVICE REQUIREMENTS No device requires a cellular data plan to use iSailGPS NZ. iPhone SE, 6S, 6S Plus, 6, 6 Plus, 5s, 5c, 5, 4S, 4 & 3GS, and all WiFi+cellular iPads support full navigation. iPod touch (Gen 3 or later) & WiFi-only iPads require an iOS-compatible external GPS receiver to show your location at sea & record tracks.
