The
locations database supplied with Visual Passage Planner
2 (VPP2) contains the contents of the World Port
Index, which is published by the National Imagery
and Mapping Agency (NIMA). It contains data on
over 4600 ports around the world. Some
of the fields included for each port include (there are
over 60 fields!):
- Name
- Country
- Location Type
- Lat/Lon
- Publication/Chart
- Harbor Size/Type
- Shelter Afforded
- Overhead Limits
- Channel Depth
- Tide
- Good Holding Ground
- And many, many
more....
The database is easily
sorted and grouped by any criteria you choose, and
detailed information can be easily edited (see center
screen shot).
Of course, the entire
database can be overlaid on the map with customizable
icons, colors, fonts and sizes (see bottom screen shot).
