Navigation logbook

These functions are only available if you have the Navigation logbook module. They are located under the Logbook menu.

MaxSea automatically creates a navigation logbook similar to the one normally hand-written by the navigator himself.

To do this the software generates logbook entries at regular time intervals (to be determined by the user).

Moreover, you can specify a further criteria so that an additional entry may be made automatically in the logbook (when the shipâs course is modified by more than 15¡, for example).

Lastly, it is also possible to manually generate a logbook entry by using the Event function.

When a logbook entry is made the software saves all known information for that point in the shipâs course (date, position, course, speed, weather information, etc.).

There are two types of logbooks:

ð the current logbook, where all events relevant to navigating the vessel are automatically stored. Only one of these exists.

ð archived logbooks which have been previously saved onto disk.
