For a full description of the 96 resolved issues check the release notes that were distributed with the installer. Registered users will receive a download link via email. Some highlights of the release are listed below.

1) Show project history in a new pane

The existing project history is shown in a new “History” pane.
So you can keep live track of the activities in the project.

2) Support for Klein Marine systems SDF files

AutoClean Raw import can read Processed Bathymetry (3500 UUV) or Sidescan records from the Klein SDF file. The source for Position (fish/ship), Heading (internal compass, Ship Gyro) and Motion records (internal, auxiliary) can be selected.

3) Kongsberg KM Binary File Support

Trajectory reading from a KMB (Kongsberg KM Binary) file is now supported. This file contains a trajectory as logged by various Seapath systems. It contains position/Motion/Delayed Heave.

1) New I/O type: Web Sockets

I/O Drivers can now send or receive data over so-called web sockets.

2) Chart Display – Show Fixes in new layer

The Chart Display can now optionally show a layer with fix numbers.

3) Raw Data output data driver

Driver used for the forwarding of incoming raw data packets via an output driver.
NavAQ uses various I/O ports (as defined in survey configuration) to receive data from the interfaced devices. This driver allows you to pick one or more of these incoming data packets and output it on an another I/O port to 3rd party devices/software.

4) New Echosounder Drivers

Added support for three Single/Multibeam Echosounder systems:

WaterLinked Sonar-3D view.
This systems allows an “Echoscope” like view of the seafloor.

CEE Hydro Systems CEE-LINE Single beam echosounder.
This system output depth and samples over a USB port to NavAQ.

Reson Navisound Single beam echosounder family.
These (legacy) systems output depth and samples (with limited resolution) over a serial port into NavAQ.
