New Display that shows a live point cloud of the bathymetry or laser returns.

2) Remote Display Client(s)

One “Primary” NavAQ computer can play a server for several NavAQ client computers. On these clients the same data can be visualized. Data is sent over ordinary TCP/IP so it can be sent locally but also over the internet.

NavAQ now supports positioning of so-called “link tool” vehicles. This allows you to fully calculate position and attitude for Excavators, Grabs, Pan/Tilt Units, Hopper Suction Arms etc. This requires no additional license.
