 Simplified Harmonic Method - tidal prediction program which has been developed and officially released by the UKHO, standing for the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office. The original intention is to prepare the program that would be used for calculating the tides without mathematical modeling - using this calculation method, the observations local to the prediction point are used to properly determine the tidal curve; then, the harmonics should be derived from the curve.
The program will work on every MS Windows system. No need for cracking or activation. No viruses. Just use the disk image file contained in the archive to bun the CD, or, alternatively, you may use the so-called virtual drive to run this program without physical drive.

 The weather watcher is quite compact but very useful program developed to allow users to automatically retrieve all weather data at pre-set intervals; the software features the display of the current weather condition and temperature in a tray icon. the users are enabled to designate which of the weather information will be displayed in the tray.
Another useful function of the Weather Watcher is the conversion of all weather data, logging subject data and exporting it in any desirable format. There are several other options which you will see once you have installed the program and start using it. We would note that the program interface is simple and easy-to-use by all people and there are so many ways to customize it as you wish.
An absolutely needful and recommended program which may be used as a supplementary weather informer on the vessel and may actually be installed on any computer. No need for any cracking or activation, the program will be ready for use once it has been launched on any Windows platform.
 This software was developed to work on all Windows platforms - PC Sightmaster is a very compact and user-friendly program; however, note that it is advanced enough to be used for the ocean navigation on the computers. The content was prepared having the end users and their convenience in mind and provides a broad selection of all required functions accompanied with the remarkably extensive on-screen help and guidance, intuitively understandable buttons and input boxes.
One of the features of this application is that it includes memory of all user's navigational data, i.e. the speed, course, last position and past sights, height of eye, routes and waypoints, date etc. The Identify feature is implemented to provide users with the star or planets name from estimated bearing/altitude. The developers have implemented the functions of compass correction and export of waypoints/routes to the plain .txt file for their further inclusion and use in the other programs. Compact and easy-to-use even for the non-professionals. No viruses/malware.
 WXTide 32 is one of the most popular and simple programs used for the tide and current prediction. It can predict tides from 1970 to 2037 using almost ten thousand stations (including 160 of them located in United Kingdom) and, in addition to that, more than three hundred tidal current stations.
The software has originally been developed for the interactive use; however, it can be easily used from other programs. Each of the graphic modes features separate display options as well as window settings. The users are now enabled to add custom tides and subordinate stations.
Taking into account the fact that this software is intended for free distribution, there is no need to crack it or pay for any additional codes or installation passphrases. We would highly recommend this compact yet useful program for both practical use and for training purposes. The software is fully self-contained, it means that nothing else is required. It has been tested and proven workable on all Windows platforms.
