Introduction
Wind Sensor/Anemometer
A sensor that monitors wind speed or wind speed and direction, and converts that
data into a digital output signal.
Radar and the IR2-BB
The Nobeltec ® InSight Radar 2 - Black Box (IR2-BB)™ is a specially designed
hardware component that converts the analog output from most existing industry-
standard radars into a digital stream that can be used by Jeppesen Workboat
Navigator.
Jeppesen Workboat Navigator provides you with the tools to view radar
transmissions received through the IR2-BB in a traditionally configured radar display
on-screen or overlaid directly on top of your electronic charts.
Limits of Electronic Navigation
Jeppesen Workboat Navigator is developed by skilled software engineers and
mathematicians. It undergoes rigorous safety and accuracy testing and quality
assurance before it is released to the public to use on the water. However,
occasional software issues or malfunctions could remain in the software. While
Jeppesen Marine makes every effort to identify and repair software issues if they
are discovered, this product is specifically not promised to be issue free.
Another limitation to complete accuracy is the status of your digital charts.
Electronic charts are made by skilled cartographers. However, some cartographic
surveys upon which digital charts are based were made over 50 years ago.
Therefore, it is possible for errors to occur in the final products.
