The steps required to build and distribute content:
Tools and Skills
The
Toolkit incorporates all the tools that are required to build maps
based on Navico’s NMOD (Navico Marine and Outdoor Database)
specification; however, it does not provide the tools to reprocess data
into the NMOD specification. Those tools and skills must be provided by
the content partner.
A Digital Rights
Management (DRM) schema is placed on the content at the end of the
production process discouraging mapping content from unauthorized
duplication.
To create mapping
content using the Toolkit the technical staff member who is building
maps using the Toolkit must be a GIS expert. He/she has to be
experienced in reprocessing, re-projecting and re-attributing ESRI shape
files, along with splitting and merging shape files. A good expertise
in using tools like ArcGIS, Quantum GIS, Mapwindow GIS and GlobalMapper
is essential.
Toolkit Tiers
The
Cartography Toolkit consists of 3 “tiers”, each focused on a specific
task. Tier 1 provides the tools to create AT5 or PSF vector maps. Tier 2
provides the tools to create AT5 vector maps from S-57 formatted ENC
data. Tier 3 provides tools to create AT5 raster maps.
The AT5 format is Navico’s proprietary charting format used to display charts in Simrad NSE & NSO and B&G Zeus products.
The PSF format is the proprietary charting format used to display charts in Lowrance Endura products.
Toolkit Availability
Once
the Toolkit License agreement has been executed by the licensee and
Navico, the licensee will be provided access to a Toolkit FTP site where
the latest versions of the three software tiers and all required
documentation are located. The tools are updated from time to time by
Navico at Navico’s sole discretion.
Distribution on micro/SD card – Gang Programmer
Maps
created using the Toolkit are currently distributed on SD and microSD
cards only. There is currently no distribution via CD, DVD or electronic
download. To create the SD/microSD cards Navico provides (for a fee) a
Gang Programmer which applies the DRM schema to the map files and copies
the file to a SD or microSD card. The Gang Programmer is provided at
the then current cost when a Purchase Order is submitted and is capable
of creating up to 16 SD/microSD cards at a time.
Detailed Documentation
Each
tier of the toolkit provides is accompanied by highly detailed
documentation on the steps required to build a map product along with a
sample project for each type of map that can be created using the
toolkit.
