Sailors who use analogue charts from DK can now also use them with Apple or Android tablets. The Bielefeld-based publisher has had the "Yacht Navigator" on the market for several months, which turns your own tablet into a fully-fledged plotter. The programme is available either as a free bundle with the paper nautical charts or only digitally, and even with a significant price advantage over the paper version. Versions for smartphones have also been announced for the end of the year.

We have tried out the new programme. First impressions of the test now in the new YACHT, No. 16/2015.

Andreas Fritsch was born in Buxtehude in 1968 and has been sailing since childhood, first in a dinghy and later on his own keelboats on the Elbe and later the Baltic Sea. After studying political science, German and history in Münster, he began working as a journalist and joined the YACHT editorial team in 1997. Since 2001, he has focussed on travel and charter and has travelled to almost all areas of the world and regularly charters in the Mediterranean, with Greece being his favourite area. He has written two cruising guides for the Mediterranean (Charter Guide Ionian Sea and Turkish Coast). In addition to travelling, he is a fan of the Open 60 and Maxi-Tri scene and regularly writes about these topics in YACHT.
