ScanNav Versions History

• A dll was missing in the installation of the 64-bit version
• Only impacts the use of the Actisense NGT-1 and NGX-1 input adapters
• The main executable remains the same as version 24.1

• 64-bit version available
  • The 64-bit version brings even more performance, and is compatible with the vast majority of PCs/tablets that run under 64-bit Windows. However, it is not compatible with 32-bit Windows.
  • All the features of the 32-bit version are available except the support of the Actisense NGT-1 and NGX-1 adapters for the native Nmea 2000 output which will come in a later version (functional in input).
  • You should therefore only need the 32-bit version in one of the following 2 cases
    • Your version of Windows is 32-bit
    • Or you are using an Actisense NGT-1 or NGX-1 adapter
    Note that the 32-bit version is compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows.
  • Note that the XP version is only available in 32-bit, and will be discontinued soon. Microsoft has indeed stopped supporting XP for a long time, and the number of users still using XP is decreasing.
