Marine electronics equipment manufacturer Raymarine has extended its LightHouse Charts to encompass the coastal and inshore waters of Belgium and the Netherlands.

Raymarine says its users in the region will have access to a new level of precision, clarity, and detail in marine navigation, created from trusted, official hydrographic sources — the same data used by maritime professionals.

In addition to comprehensive coverage of Belgian and Dutch coastal waters, users will benefit from the inclusion of Stentec charts and vital associated information for navigating the Dutch inland waterways.

The charts provide extensive information, including critical bridge and lock details, shoreline structures, depth soundings, bathymetry, navigation aids, and much more.

A LightHouse Premium subscription allows users to access continuous chart updates, an expanded POI library, as well as enriched satellite imagery from Mapbox.

LightHouse Charts enable boaters to effortlessly and safely identify, navigate to, and explore new destinations and fishing spots. As an all-in-one solution, these charts provide versatility and convenience to both recreational and professional users alike.

Raymarine says boaters can seamlessly switch between an official government-style chart presentation or an information-rich leisure chart view, tailoring the navigation experience to their specific needs. Additionally, four-chart colour palettes are available, optimised for bright sun, daylight, dusk, and night-time conditions.

Last month, Raymarine launched a new Alpha Series display, new Smart Wind Technology, and performance sailing upgrades to the LightHouse operating system for Axiom chartplotters.
