Comments:
" I am on the west coast of Ireland and got the UK/ Irish maps through a website called Visitmyharbour for about 30 euro and they also have a good workthrough on how to install the charts on an android device so as well as the 800 charts on my laptop i also have them on my samsung smartphone and the accuracy is down to a couple of meters.
There is also a small app available called idisplay which I run on both the windows laptop at my nav station and on an ipad in a waterproof case at the helm, idisplay extends the laptop monitor display to the ipad and I can use the ipad to start programs etc on the laptop, have found this system to be really effective. Windows is far more stable now than it ever was and I have no problems with the machine stalling or needing rebooting. Seaclear only needs a very basic laptop to run and the difference in price will surely mean more and more people are installing laptops instead of small screen chartplotters"
"I ordered your Seaclear on Monday and it arrived on Tuesday. I installed it on my home laptop yesterday and was most impressed. Today I installed it on the laptop on my boat and could not sort the GPS. A call to you gave me the answer and that is now working.
I have been using N*******r for the last twelve years which has included eight Atlantic crossings and most of the Western seaboard of Europe. I have not been impressed by their service, for which they charged, or by the expense of the charts.
I am extremely impressed by your efficiency so far and staggered by how inexpensive your product is. Whilst I have yet to get to grips with waypoints and routes, I have no doubt that I will be using Seaclear rather than N*******r." MW
"Many thanks for the swift delivery of SeaClear. So far (in the first few days) I have visited several areas with which I am familiar and I have spent a pleasant couple of happy hours going about re-finding my old cruising grounds.
What an inspired product. I don't claim to have mastered all it's little nooks and crannies but I'm looking forward to planning this summers' cruises" R&M
"I'm very impressed with SeaClear on the USB Dongle. I bought it for use on my 20' Hardy Bosun but last night took it to work (I'm a Pilot) with my 7" Asus to try out "in action". Superb, my days of scanning and calibrating are over.
Magazine Review, printed last year
2011 Charts for SeaClear, and our wireless GPS were fully reviewed and discussed in "Sailing Today" magazine, Feb 2012 issue, pages 43 and 44.
It earned the Sailing Today "Recommended" tag and 4 out of 5 possible stars.
New and FREE for 2013 (2011& 2012 prices are held, package is improved)
Apart from fresh "For Navigation" Charts dated 21st Dec 2012
2013 tide tables embedded in SeaClear. With a couple of clicks see a whole months tides for the chosen tide station. 400+ locations.
Tide table in SeaClear
- Feature: An embedded set of 2013 tide tables for 400 UK/Irish locations showing a full months tables (in familiar format, similar to printed tide tables) for each location. No internet connection, it's built in.
- Benefit: With a couple of clicks from directly within SeaClear, you can choose a tide location and see a display of the whole years monthly tide tables. Scroll up and down to see the month you're interested in, full screen. At sea or at home.
Android compatibility, use on a tablet or phone as well as a PC/Laptop
Built in: "For Nav" compatibility with Android devices, using an App called Marine Navigator. (the charts are embedded in all 2013 DVDs and Dongles, and can be activated NOW)
VMH raster charts running in Marine Navigator... Android App
- Feature: The charts on this DVD/USB are compatible with "Marine Navigator", a cracking Android "For Nav" App. (App costs about £5 from PlayStore)
-
Benefit: Will allow use (in addition to the usual PC use) ONE installation on an Android device running "Marine Navigator" App. We've tested this App with the charts, and if you use a decent tablet with built in GPS, it's a fantastic program. Very similar to SeaClear, this App will allow proper route planning, position you on the best chart available, and give you all the navigation information you need on-screen. Use your Android tablet as a stand alone chart plotter. This Android installation feature is FREE for one device only.
Download and print the installation and registration help PDF...(EULA with this document applies to the chartset provided with the SeaClear DVD/USB dongle only) Click HERE
If you have a 2013 SeaClear DVD you can install on Android NOW
"I was researching a cockpit repeater option for my boat which has a good GPS at the nav station. There seemed to be some difficulties and costs associated with getting what would amount to a whole new GPS when VMH email popped into my inbox, with the Android capability.
Looking on the VMH site, they recommended the Motorola Xoom. I found a nearly new one on the net at a good price and bought the DVD. Following installation of the Marine Navigator app, and the activation code, it was mostly plain sailing, except that this first PC I tried to use to transfer files would not "see" the tablet on USB socket. Have not yet worked out why. VMH instructions were clear and accurate.
Not yet tried it in anger, but so far I'm very pleased. Its a first class product created by accessible and very helpful people with a real understanding of sailors' needs.
If you could also work out a similar approach to Ordnance Survey mapping, you'd collar another significant market share.
Best wishes, Dave"
For those still using the 2011 editions: Difference between the 2011 and the 2012 editions:
- Feature: The whole packages, including charts are now fully installed on any number of machines. See installation process, it's very simple click here
-
Benefit: It's lightning fast. Because the DVD or USB only acts as an "Ignition Key" used to verify your installation. No constantly spinning DVDs or poking out USB dongles.
- Feature: SeaClear is now fully functional
-
Benefit: Routes, Waypoints and everything else can be saved (early 2011 versions couldn't do this)
- Feature: Embedded HTML help section, by technical author Richard Fairman BA
-
Benefit: Full help can be run in a separate window, while you get to know SeaClear
- Feature: Built in "My Own Charts" folder for experienced SeaClear users
- Benefit: Easily allows you to add commercially available or self scanned charts covering other areas and use in conjunction with the package. Sample chart of Brazil included to try. Could be very useful if you cruise French waters and have paper charts already... you can scan them, calibrate and use. Everything is there.
Who is this for? What could I do with this package ?
This DVD/USB dongle package is for anyone who has a boat of any kind, from kayaks to motor yachts, dinghies to liveaboard cruisers...or anyone who's simply interested in our coastlines, from birdwatchers to hot air baloonists, divers, shipwatchers, harbour offices, etc
For those who use paper charts, the SeaClear package offers the following useful functions:
Have you ever wondered if your own paper charts are so out of date that they are in fact a work of fiction ? Are you navigating using a mouldering pile of uncorrected charts you acquired two boats ago ? Can you rely on them or do they really need replacing ? Do your old paper charts show current TSS schemes. Compare your older paper charts to our latest offerings and decide if you will correct them, or replace maybe several with just one or two small scale charts.
Also, you can snag A4 custom chartlets for printing using the screenshot software provided..
Use the package to do your passage planning at home:
Use SeaClear to do your route planning and prepare waypoint lists...all using the best and latest charts. Watch tutorial videos.. check out the links at the right hand side of this page
And maybe think about...
Bringing your laptop and power supply to the boat, hooking up a GPS to SeaClear and trying out real time electronic navigation. SeaClear offers a great way to stick with chart styles you are truly used to...but navigate on them electronically, rather than with pencil and ruler. See how when you start SeaClear it will now position you centre screen, on the best chart available.
Now try it at sea, alongside your paper charts...
Compatible GPS for SeaClear AIS for SeaClear
For those with small chart plotting GPS sets
Ha ! I've got one of these ! No doubt very useful and reassuring at sea on passage. But with its 5 inch screen located down at the chart table... what use is it as you are making your grand entrance into a strange harbour? And when was the last time you updated the charts in it ?
Can your plotter produce decent printed A4 chartlets ? Can you see the screen in sunlight ?
Can you plan your passage at home on these gadgets ? Why not plan using the up to date large scale raster charts in SeaClear, snag the Waypoint/Route listings you've made...and enter them in your onboard unit when you start you passage.
Raster vs. Vector
Finally, most dedicated chartplotters use vector charts which tend to look like a poor quality arcade game compared to raster charts, which are exact copies of official paper charts.
"At the UK Hydrographic Office, and many other national Hydrographic Offices, vector data (ENC) is created by tracing over the raster data. The significance of this cannot be overstated . The best quality image possible from this data can only ever approach the original raster image. When the electronic navigation chart (ENC) is displayed, with all possible display options enabled, the total amount of display information will still only approximate to that available from the raster image."
From a white paper by CherSoft, the company who produce "Easy Tide" for the UKHO. For a full understanding of the differences between RASTER and VECTOR charts download the white paper
Screenshot of a vector chart of Cowes
Here at VisitMyHarbour, we prefer RASTER charts...
This chart package contains a full set of over 800 charts/chartlets (400+ Full Sized charts) covering all UK inclucing all Scotland, Orkneys, Shetlands etc. and Irish waters, at all scales right down to harbour plan level. They are derived from official charts thus have the same look and feel as familiar paper charts. The source charts used in this DVD edition are dated 21st Dec 2012, and users are responsible for consulting notices to mariners for the latest updated information.
This is the quality of chart, superb detail
This "Charts for SeaClear" installed package is lightning fast. And best of all it uses charts you are truly used to, rich with detail...don't forget these raster charts are the original source of all information used to compile vector charts.
Find out about and see thumbnails of the charts that are actually embedded in this package Click HERE
Even if you already have an onboard dedicated plotter using vector charts, you'll find this package more than useful for planning at home, preparing routes and waypoints, etc.
Other uses...
Believe it or not we've had birdwatchers asking about measuring distances off, while logging migrating seabirds...SeaClear will do this.
Ship watchers...if you have an AIS set, you can connect this and plot passing shipping on the charts in SeaClear. We know several of these have been sold to radio enthusiasts who use it in conjunction with powerful antenna arrays to track shipping 100s of miles away.
Harbourmasters..could use the package with an AIS to help deal with approaching vessels. We know our packages are already in use for harbour buoy/mooring laying operations.
Commercial...we know some ships masters have this running within their own cabins to keep an eye. We also know it's in use by ships pilots, who often prefer to carry their own independent familiar system.
Fishermen...save your favourite high yield trawl tracks, so you can re-use again.
Perhaps the most compelling reason to buy this DVD is to simply have in your own hands a completely up to date set of UK/Ireland charts for reference...at £29.50 you cant get cheaper and you can't really go wrong

Comments from users
"I would like to thank Steve Bryant and VMH for all their help and for replacing my usb charts dongle free of charge which I managed to mess up. What a great team, VistMyHarbour is by far the best I have ever dealt with,
thank you again barry @benfleet"
This was sent at 19/12/2011 15:23:09 From Barry Sandford
for providing it at a discount price.
If that wasn't enough I was delighted to find that the DVD lived up to
expectations. Easy to run from the DVD, and yes full of Admiralty Charts
for the coast of UK/Ireland. What wonderful value. A system that is easy
to install and use. There is no excuse for going to sea without a full set
of charts now.How much would it cost for just ONE paper chart?
I will recommend this to all my friends and colleagues.
Well done VisitMyHarbour. All your innovative hard work has paid off.
David M Humphrey, Burnham on Sea"
"Good Day Maury.
"Hi all at VMH, All set up and running ... many thanks

Compatible GPS for SeaClear AIS for SeaClear
What is SeaClear ?
SeaClear is a navigation program for Windows PCs. It has been around for many years, and is well established and well regarded. The author of this program has made it freely available, and many thousands of sailors use it for their day-to-day chart plotting on-board. SeaClear can make use of free or commercially available BSB charts, or users can scan and geo-reference their own paper charts.
Read our original artice on SeaClear, & download it free
Get the answer to our most asked question "How do I connect a GPS to my SeaClear installation? Click here to find out
SeaClear supports most of the marine functions required, but it's a fairly simple and uncomplicated piece of software use. With a GPS connected to the PC, the user's position is plotted centrally on the best chart available. As the boat moves, charts are automatically changed. Routes can be planned and waypoints lifted.
Up till now there has been no way of obtaining budget or up to date charts covering UK waters, compatible with SeaClear. We like it so much WE HAVE NOW MADE THEM AVAILABLE at an incredible £29.50...No chart packages can get anywhere near this in price, it's almost HALF the price of the cheapest alternatives, and SeaClear is considered superior to some budget chartplotting programs too.
In our opinion, there are too many proprietary chart plotting navigation systems around, SeaClear can use BSB commercial or free charts, your own scanned paper charts, and now our charts. SeaClear is fully expandable to cover YOUR next cruising areas, including the Med...no need to learn a new system. See the bottom of this article for sources of cheap/free charts.
To make use of this DVD package you will need: DVD: Windows XP , Vista or Windows 7. DVD drive needed.
WINDOWS 8 Compatibility: Compatible with single core (32 bit) intel based Windows 8 systems. NOT COMPATIBLE with Windows 8 RT or dual core (64 bit) intel based Windows 8
How can we produce this package so cheaply ?
For starters we didn't have to write the program ! It was already there, 1000's already use it, it's good and reliable, and FREE. All we had to do was produce the charts in such a way that it would satisfy our licensors (UKHO) that they can't be copied and passed around. Secondly, we already had experience building our VisiChart (Charts and Google Earth satellite imagery combined) packages, plus all the experience gained providing free charts within this pilotage website.
We keep the packaging simple, it just comes with a little instruction booklet, the main manuals are in PDF form on the disc.
Who are we ?
VisitMyHarbour is an award-winning website, that has been providing free UK pilotage information to small craft mariners for almost 3 years now. VisitMyHarbour has gone from strength to strength, and you will find us well indexed on Google in relation to the words Pilotage or Charts.
We currently attract between 1600 and 2100 unique visitors a day.
VMH has members in locations as far apart as Singapore and Brazil, and interests ranging from hot air balooning to navigating in the Fastnet. They use our unique online chart service, which was another first for VisitMyHarbour.
Our commintment to customer service is second to none, see some recent comments:
"..., you are wonderful. This kind of service is something I have not met for years in the yachting world where everybody appears to have been born with all nautical knowledge possible and look down upon people who are still at their first steps - elderly though they may be. But if one starts sailing at 55, one is bound to feel apprehensive and feeble at many nautical issues. One wants to look ahead as far is possible in order to be able to tackle only those difficulties that are not to be foreseen whatsoever.
Again, thank you"
"Wow, That's what I call a fast service! Thanks very much,..."
"...– bless you – especially for your honesty – so many people these days attempt to flannel their way out of things it is refreshing to get an “Oops, sorry” reply. And of course – me being me I assumed that I was being dense!!"
Our all-important chart data is licensed directly and updated regularly. VisitMyHarbour is UK based at: Kenneth Court, Union Rd, Ryde on the Isle of Wight, our customer service number is 01983 567866, with lines manned from 9 AM to 6 PM weekdays.
VisitMyHarbour run a tight ship with low overheads and do not rely on taking advertising. We are here to stay, and the site is run by people with over 40,000 miles hands on seagoing experience. Since launching in July 2009 (after 18m preparation) this on-line pilotage guide has attracted favourable comments for it's usefulness to all leisure harbour users:
this is great information, but I have only just discovered you - are you new? When did you start? Did you have charts on the site last year? It is an excellent quick reference." MJ
"Thanks very much for your very prompt and considered reply.....it's that 'John Lewis' standard of customer service again that you're becoming known for."
We truly do believe in the brotherhood of the sea, and aim to work in a spirit of co-operation. We are in the ongoing process of gathering and building up the best and most up to date pilotage information available for UK waters.
Best Regards,
Mackenzie, Bryant ...and Thomson
What exactly is in the package and how does it work ?
The package consists of one DVD, and a small booklet. These are sent 1st class post when you order.
To install the package on any Windows machine, you simply drag the one big folder into your Disc C, and then the drag three shortcuts to your desktop. It is really simple, see the "How to Install the "Charts for Seaclear" Video, link(s) in right hand column. Once installed you will find the shortcuts will take you to:
-
Your lightning fast installed SeaClear package, pre loaded with all UK/Irish waters charts
-
NEW an embedded comprehensive, searchable, help section written by technical author Richard Fairman BA
- A folder containing the "Official" SeaClear manual in PDF form PRINT AND READ, other useful PDFs, MapCal and "My Own Charts" folder, so you can expand this system with your own charts. A sample chart of Brazil is already included for you to test.
.
All charts are locked by the device (rather than one nominated machine as is normally the case with navigation programs). Advantage...this package is portable between any Windows machine. Disadvantage..you need to have a functioning DVD drive on any machine you want to use these on. Once the package is started the DVD can be taken out and put by.
Best of all the package uses standard official charts at full size. Changing between scales and areas is really simple. By default (user changeable) clicking anywhere within the UK will bring up the largest scale chart. Right clicking will enable you to "back out" of that view, by choosing a smaller scale chart, centered on the same area. This can be done multiple times till you get exactly the overview you want.
More information about the "Charts for SeaClear UK/Ireland 2013" package
Chart datum:
Nearly all the charts (99%)in this package are already, or have been re-referenced to WGS84 datum. All charts with a -W suffix are WGS84 compatible (no matter what the information in the chart panel says). Charts without a -W suffix are referenced to the chart itself. Users are advised that differences in datum can amount to 09' (nine hundreths of a minute), which can mount up to over 200 yards. Users are warned to check the datum of the loaded chart (-W or not), and also to pay attention to information in the chart panel relating to the age and reliability of the source data. Accurate GPS WGS84 positioning may be far more accurate that the chart itself.
Good seamanship dictates that a sensible offing should be maintained from any charted dangers, bearing in mind weather and tidal conditions at the time. Do not allow GPS positioning to lead you into taking risks that you wouldn't otherwise choose.
Encryption and subsequent restrictions:
This pack is tied to the individual DVD you have purchased, therefore you will need a functioning DVD drive to start this up at all times. The DVD/USB only acts as a key to start your installed version, it spins ONCE when the pack is started. Forthcoming Android installation requires registration and is locked to ONE Android device.
All printing has been disabled while this package is running, to meet UKHO restrictions on printing anything more than small copies. A4 prints can be handled by the Gadwin Screenprint software included with this pack (or get Gadwin here NOW...highly recommended DOWNLOAD ).
To print out route/waypoint lists, simply save the file to your desktop, then print after the chart package is closed down. Likewise with screenshots of charts (using Gadwin or Print Screen)
Apart from the restrictions mentioned above, SeaClear retains all of its functionality.
For actual real time use at sea, it's recommended that
1. You have a decent power supply for your laptop, running from the ships batteries.
2. Have the laptop installed well within the boat, and away from any splashing or seawater.
Start up sequence:
Make sure you've installed the package. Leave the original DVD in the drive, and click the shortcut. You'll get a EULA, a splash screen, then SeaClear will start with a world map showing. It is ready to use. Normal start up speed is around 7 seconds ! The DVD will have spun just once, and in fact it can now be taken out.
Experienced users:
Use this package with your already established SeaClear installation: No problem, copy your own scanned and calibrated charts, .KAP or .WCI charts into "My Own Charts" folder. Use MapCal to scan for new charts, it'll find them and the package will use them in conjunction with the embedded charts. Routes prepared on other SeaClear installations will run normally on this package.
Connecting GPS:
Buy a GPS dongle or our own Compatible GPS for SeaClear which has full SeaClear friendly instructions and back up phone support. If you buy your own GPS dongle, install with instructions that come with it. Find out the Com port number it is using and the Baud rate, point SeaClear at this port, set Baud rate. SeaClear locks on to the position. Full instruction in the manual. Otherwise connect your existing GPS using a serial or USB cable and link SeaClear to that. Serial cable connections are by far the easiest to set up. See help and videos in the right hand column.
Get our AIS receiver for £96.50 to go with SeaClear
System Requirements: SeaClear is a lightweight application, and will run quickly with no fuss in older computers.
DVD: Windows XP , Vista, Windows 7 DVD drive needed, disc acts as "ignition key". Note: This package can be installed on multiple machines, DVD acts as a key. Full telephone support for buyers.

Other charts and areas available for SeaClear
Believe it or not, the UKHO are not the only ones producing original surveys and charts in the UK. Some areas of Scotland (where ships are unlikely to venture) are being surveyed specially for intrepid small craft mariners. These charts are made by Antares:
"Antares Charts is a source of 'unofficial' very large scale electronic charts and related pilotage information created by unqualified enthusiasts.
Focusing on the West Coast of Scotland it is aimed at experienced navigators, to supplement information available from more authoritative providers."
Best of all they are inexpensive and will work fine with our "Charts for SeaClear" packages. Get the best of both worlds, official charts and private locally surveyed extra large scale charts:
http://www.antarescharts.co.uk/
SeaClear is fully expandable to cover many areas of the world:
Free charts in BSB format are available for US and Brazilian waters. Google "NOAA" or "DHN Brazil" to find the latest versions of these. We provide versions of SeaClear pre-loaded with many of these charts that are "Ready to use", for VMH members only.
This 2013 package contains an overview chart of Brazil for testing in "My Own Charts" folder.
Yachtua, a Ukranian website, have been maunfacturing and offering SeaClear compatible charts for some time now, as downloads in BSB or SeaClear WCI format. They cover most of the Med, inc Turkey and Greece, plus they have West Indies coverage. This seems to fill the gaps nicely between the free BSBs and our own UK offering. Their prices seem reasonable at 3.50 Euros per downloaded chart, and although we haven't tested their charts out, they seem to have a good reputation. We stress they have nothing to do with VisitMyHarbour, we link to them for your benefit...have a look:
