An update on product licensing and availability. We were informed by a data licensor that the product access to PolarView NS must be no less restrictive than access to the data source.

Free application with fee-based network data access is not compatible with the licensing requirements. Product compliance requires us to either provide free data access or implement application licensing as well. Nice though it may be, free data access and free application is clearly not financially feasible. So, not without some reservations, but also with hope for a more sustainable outlook, PolarView NS will, again, require a subscription to use. PolarView NS subscription will be included, along with data access, as part of either US or UK chart subscription.

It’s been a while, and now our Linux products are up to date and synchronized with Mac and Windows releases. We hope you find this new version useful and, as always, welcome questions and feedback.

As an open system, Linux comes in variety of distributions, aimed at different audiences and providing diverse functionality. From desktop to servers and embedded devices – there is a Linux out there to fit the need. This wide diversity brings with it distinct issues that are specific to each Linux distribution, makes troubleshooting and issue resolution more difficult. Bear this in mind when using our Linux products. Download, install and try them. Make sure they work well on your preferred brand of Linux.

If they do not – feel free to contact us, but remember that issues not specific to Polar Navy products may be difficult to resolve. Having said that – we are glad you are here, and will do our best to make Linux users feel welcome. Tagged:Posted by polarnavy. I get this question a lot from users, so here is the rundown on our products and what is happening here: PolarCOM is not the entire product, rather it is a GPS instrumentation and NMEA multiplexor application. To get chart/live GPS/ship view you need both PolarCOM and PolarView NS. PolarView NS is an ENC/RNC chart planner and live GPS navigation application. It also includes a free GRIB viewer and a download service which gets GRIB data from our servers, as well as tides/currents visualization.

It requires PolarCOM to interface with your GPS and other instruments for navigation and AIS display. PolarCOM is a “kind of” a service. As such, when you run it – it starts in system tray or Launcher. On Windows/Linux you should see a small “blue globe” icon in the tray. On Mac the application will run as a Launcher icon. You can reach PolarCOM options by right-clicking/cmd-clicking on the icon in system tray or Launcher, respectively. The suggested use is to launch PolarCOM once and just keep it there, in tray, for as long as the system is up.

PolarView NS can be started and shut down as convenient, to save power, increase battery life and free up CPU and screen for other things. If PolarView NS is closed, PolarCOM will keep currently navigated route and all the related information. When you restart PolarView NS, this information will be restored. Tagged:Posted by polarnavy.

A few of our users asked about installation process, so here is the rundown:. Download and install our free chart/GRIB viewer for your OS from here:. Add charts, download GRIB weather, go ahead – use it 🙂. Download and install our free NMEA multiplexor/instrument display for your OS from here:.

Add a serial port for your GPS receiver, set up a few dials (Position/SOG/COG are the most handy). Finally – order “Core Navigation License” (follow “ORDER NOW” link on or visit our page for additional available licenses) and add it to PolarView. You will need your PolarView serial number for the order.

Open “About” dialog and copy the serial number – as seen in image below. Once your order is processed, you will receive an E-mail with a new license code to apply to your product. Please note, that Core Navigation license is tied to the serial number you provide, which is unique for each computer system you have installed PolarView on. You will need a separate license for each computer you expect to use PolarView NS on. Individual users can purchase additional or replacement licenses covering functionality they already bought for a nominal fee of $9.99.

See our page for additional details. Apply the license code in the license dialog as shown in the image below: At this point you will need to restart PolarView to activate the license. The same process applies to purchasing AIS Module license.

We hope you enjoy using the additional functionality 🙂 Tagged:Posted by polarnavy.
