Als je de Waterkaart Live app gebruikt, kun je zelf vaarroutes plannen en opslaan. Daarbij houdt de route rekening met de hoogte van bruggen (en sluizen) op je route. Het gebruik van de routeplanner is eenvoudig, op deze pagina leggen we uit hoe het werkt. Deutsche Version โฆ
Waterkaart.net is nu uitgebreid met de Inland ENC navigatiekaarten van Rijkswaterstaat. Ze bevatten zeer veel details over het water. Je kunt deze heel makkelijk als een extra kaartlaag aanzetten. Zo werkt dat. Deutsche Version ๐ฉ๐ช | English version ๐ฌ๐ง IENC โฆ
Goed nieuws voor wie door Noord-Holland vaart: vanaf nu kun je via Waterkaart Live automatisch brugopeningsverzoeken laten sturen. Zo wordt varen een stuk makkelijker en hoef je minder te wachten. Je hoeft alleen de Netwerk-AIS functie aan te schakelen. Zo werkt dat. โฆ
