and HotMaps Platinum Chart Compatibility

Toronto, Ontario – Northport Systems, Inc., a leader in GPS mapping software and innovative GPS applications, announced today at METS that its popular Fugawi Marine ENC™ software will support Navionics Platinum and HotMaps Platinum multi-dimensional electronic charts.
