The software that comes with the Recorder is available for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. It allows export of data into the following formats:

GPX files with the vessel's track and extensive information about sailing conditions, including weather, depth, engine, and even tracks of nearby vessels with AIS. GPX files can be viewed in Google Earth, Garmin MapSource and other cartographic applications. They can also be loaded into a modern MFD from Garmin or Raymarine.

XML, CAN, OpenSkipper, CanBoat and Signal K formats. Load the data to open source OpenSkipper or CAN Log Viewer applications to decode NMEA CSV files to open data in spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel or LibreOffice Calc to visualize data using charts and build the graphic reports.

Voice or VHF recording

The device has a 3.5mm audio jack socket (line-in, adjustable gain and activation level). Audio data are stored to standard files with a .WAV extension. Data files contain internal links to the audio files, and the software places links to audio files at the geographical points in the GPX file where they were recorded. You can use it as a “voice log book” or to automatically save VHF weather forecasts and conversations.
