PRODUCT HISTORY. The software has been designed and developed by a group of anglers as an easy-to-use software aid to boat fishing, diving and other marine leisure activities. Starting off as a simple GPS repeater display, it has evolved into a full scale chart navigation system specifically aimed at offshore sports enthusiasts. Assembled using modern coding techniques, no other similar product offers the power and simplicity of GPSANGLER.
 
DISPLAY ALL INFORMATION IN A LEGIBLE MANNER. Text is displayed in high contrast with large size fonts; easily readable in choppy waters by the helmsman or from a distance by other members of the crew. The readability of critical information in "real world" conditions is the over-riding design objective of GPSANGLER.

KEEP IT REASONABLY SIMPLE. All screens display relevant data and nothing else. Arrays of toolbars, extraneous functions and other clutter are not part of GPSANGLER.

BIAS TOWARDS ANGLERS/DIVERS. Whilst we welcome use of the software by all our maritime friends, it has been developed with a bias towards angling and diving. This includes a "VESSEL/MARK CLOSEUP" facility and dynamic setting and recording of target marks by a simple click of the mouse.

A COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTION. A used laptop of relatively modest performance, a GPS unit that transmits the necessary information, coupled with "GPSANGLER", and we're away....  Why waste good money on a limited colour proprietary chart plotter, costing over £500, when we can build a far superior, future-proof system, with a much larger display, for much less than half that?  You may have most of the components already!
