traces depth: This module provides graphic
displays of parameters and performance of the boat (determining
averages, performance analysis, optimization ...).This module is available in the
basic version ScanNav free of charge. See
pdf document for a detailed
description.
- Integration of database marinas STW: Partnership with the Association Sail The World ( stw.fr ) to integrate their database assessments marinas, allowing directly from ScanNav to consult existing assessments and to add, without requiring an Internet connection, except to perform the updates. See pdf document for a detailed description.

New / Improvements:
- Interpolation instruments:
- This new feature allows to stabilize and make it more readable various repeaters. A new "Amortization Instruments" setting is available in the preferences tab "Navigation".It allows to absorb the values ??of the instruments (vane / anemometer, speeds and headings background / area) indicating the number of seconds of averaging.
- ENC:
- Each map object contained in an ENC may have an attribute (SCAMIN), indicating no longer see the object below a certain level, in order to lighten the display zoom.A new option "Use SCAMIN" in the preferences to disable this feature to continue to view all objects zoom.
- Usability Preferences:
- The opening of preferences is now on the last used tab.

- Possibility of using Navionics Navionics without requiring specific USB drive, with a validation on the Internet (cards must be recent enough to support this feature)
- Integrated installation procedure in ScanNav.
- See documentation: DocInstallNavionics.pdf
- AIS Module:
- Taking into account the tags navigation aid

- Establishment "type configurations" for setting simplification traces.In the Navigation tab of the preferences for the automatic simplification, or in the dialog explicit simplification traces, click the "Recommended values" to choose the kind proposed configurations button: navigation offshore, coastal navigation, Operation, Anchorage.or Default.
-
Parameters explicit simplification traces are
saved from one call to another, and the default values ??are more
consistent.

- New UKHO tidal data: Data from the UKHO have been incorporated into a new ScanNav currents area (1500-UKHO).
- The coverage area is the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, the North Sea, as well as a few scattered points in Iceland, Gibraltar, Portugal.
- These measurement points (dots on the maps), the area contains 41 files, each file corresponding to a reference port.
- SHOMAR Edition 2011/2012: Included SNTides new data from the water level of the SHOM, edition 2011/2012 (valid until 15/01/2013)
- New chart format (extension snmap.) ScanNav adopts a new native format single-file cards with extention "snmap." File.This format facilitates the transfer maps between computers over the old "map." File needed to copy several related files. Note:. The old format map is of course still supported.
- Support GeoTIFF Format: ScanNav enriched the number of supported formats read by integrating geotiff projection Mercator (UTM projection used land was already supported)
- Addition funds global maps default on construction of a new library (menu "File" -> "New" from the library card), the library is initialized with the base maps World and Europe, which avoids go get them.(In previous versions, they were added as when opening ScanNav with an empty library)
- Also contains some bug fixes
- Support target radar ARPA / MARPA: AIS module features from version
10.1 can view the target radar with ARPA interface (or MARPA) on the
screen, with equivalent functionality Monitoring and burglar alarms
collision.ARPA supported NMEA sentences are:
- "TTM" (Tracked target message) or "TLL" (latitude and longitude Target) for positioning radar targets on ScanNav
- "RDS" (RADAR Data System) for the postponement of the cursor on the radar ScanNav
- . Parameterization vectors CPA (AIS module): It is now possible to filter the display vectors CPA (Closest Point of Approach) to display only those targets that provided the minimum distance is less than a defined threshold to alleviate the display.
- SNTides new module:
The new water heights module "SNTides" is part of ScanNav software, and comes
standard with the base module from version 10.0 (version Necessary day).
Computing heights is performed after the software tidal predictions SHOM: SHOMAR
