Starpath Navigation Workbook

 

• Download 18465TrainingChart electronic chart for Memory Map Navigator
   (18465TrainingChart.zip, 10 Mb)
This is a high resolution chart made especially for our training programs. It will only run in Memory-Map Navigator. The file is zipped, so it must be unzipped to extract the qct file

If you are updating an existing chart in your course materials, then you can move the chart to this folder: c:\program files (or programs x86 files)\starpath\Coastal Nav Course\echarts and it will appear automatically. Then use this one and not the older one called 18645tr.qct. Alternatively, you can put it anywhere, and use the Map List function in MM to locate it.

• Nautical chart catalogs. We have several exercises on the use of chart catalogs. It is always valuable to have one on board, in part because it makes an excellent graphic index to the charts you have. Just highlight the boundaries of the charts you have in the catalog. The Workbook purchase itself does not include a catalog (we do provide them with the full course purchase) but printed catalogs are available at no charge from any official chart dealer—which by the way will become much more rare shortly as the FAA (now in charge of distributing nautical charts!) has set a new limit that every official chart dealer must sell $5,000 worth of charts each year to remain "official," which in part means they get a discount on buying them.

To obtain a catalog for working the exericses, you can download or view online a graphic version at this link: NOAA nautical chart catalogs. We use Catalog No. 2, Pacific Coast, for the Workbook exercises.
