As a summary: Capcode is a free software suite for sailors that provides:

• NMEA acquisition from all instruments of the boat, including GPS

• display these informations on nautical charts (position of the boat, speeds vectors, polar, waypoints, grib weather information, etc)

Disclaimer:
Capcode is NOT a certified navigation tool. This product does not prevent you from using your normal navigation means, like paper maps, compass, etc. In any case Capcode was develop to be used as a primary means of navigation. Even if most of the code were developed with a rather good development assurance level, too many assumptions prevent you from using as a navigation means: the operating system (probably windows, or linux) cannot be granted this confidence, neither the java runtime. The maps you will be using are not generated by a certified organism but by capcode users that are willing to share their work.
