The Olex 3D Chart system provides a unique combination of navigation, fishery plotting and seafloor mapping.  Leave your Windows headaches behind!  This Linux-based plotter system solves many of the common problems found in Window-based software.

By using data from a ship's own Echosounder and GPS, the Olex system collects real-time data about the seafloor, building into a realistic seafloor view.

Fully integrate the Olex system with AIS, via the included module. This allows the Olex to graphically show the location of any vessels which have been located by the AIS.

Olex has both 3D and 2D Modes allowing for a clear understanding of the topography of the area. The excellent 3D view gives a detailed picture of a particular area. Several 2D modes such as relief, depth contour and bottom zoom, highlight both flat and complex terrain. Olex also has a special function which shows 2D profiles along transects of choice.

Combined with the excellent seafloor mapping, Olex is also an extremely powerful plotter. It is extremely easy to store marks, comments, track lines and areas. Track lines can be coloured to allow for easy recognition. Plotter data is organised into plot layers, which are individually named, making it very easy to distinguish between different types of data.

Olex allows chart data, seafloor data, plotter objects and radar targets to be brought together in a single easily read display.
