WASHINGTON — The Coast Guard’s Director of Prevention Policy announced Thursday publication in the Federal Register of the Record of Decision to decommission the Loran-C program and terminate the North American Loran-C signal.
The final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement on the future of the nation’s Loran-C program was announced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on June 12, 2009.

NOAA Vector Charts (S57): This major update adds 18 new Vector
Charts to the library. The entire NOAA Vector Chart Library has been optimized to improve
chart scale density on NavNet 3D displays. A 300% to 400% increase in
chart detail and related reduction in chart boundary quilting will be seen
at most chart scales. NOAA Raster Charts: The NOAA Raster Edition 3 is a minor update
from Edition 2. Fishing Charts: Fishing Charts for the East and West coast of the
USA are now available. These new Fishing Charts provide detailed
bathymetric contour for the most popular fishing locations.

The 2009 boating season will bring with it many new products. AIS class B is available from many manufacturers now. This new AIS (Automatic Identification System) allows pleasure boats to receive and transmit boat information to and from other boats automatically. The new class B units are much less expensive and add a level of safety to your navigation system. See all our AIS equipment here. AIS Receivers and Transponders
NMEA 2000 equipment is changing the installation world. Most boats will need an NMEA 2000 backbone into which various sensors and displays are attached. Radar cables are getting thin. Wiring runs are being reduced and wireless is coming on strong. Look for lots of new product introductions in 2009.
Satellite TV is smaller and cheaper than ever with the introduction of the Intellian satellite dishes. At 10.5 inches, the model I-1 truly goes where no other dish has gone before. These high performance dishes stay locked underway. See the complete line if Intellian products here. Intellian

FLIR cameras are a great addition to the boat that has everything. The night vision cameras deliver stunningly clear images in zero light situations. This is the type of image you may have seen on nigh time police surveillance footage. Now that FLIR is offering these products to the marine market, these cameras will become essential safety devices. For night time usage, this gives a more useful image than radar! During the day, glare is eliminated, allowing you to cruise right at the sun without a blind spot. When used in conjunction with radar, vessel safety is greatly enhanced. When you talk about situational awareness, it doesn’t get any better that FLIR. Call 847-746-0100 to find out more about this protected military technology.
