1 - Introduction

Jeppesen Workboat Navigator

This Installer’s Guide covers information about the Jeppesen Workboat Navigator, Jeppesen Marine's state-of-the-art navigation software package.

Jeppesen Workboat Navigator is a piloting solution for commercial boats. It combines digital marine charts and location-based data, such as Notices to Mariners, with input from onboard sensors, such as GPS, radar, Autopilot, AIS, heading sensor, and onboard camera.

Workboat Navigator further serves as an electronic navigation data professional information service. Regular subscriptions to this professional information service provide you with the most recently updated, high quality charts and navigation information available.

1 - Introduction

Professional+ Charts and NavData

Jeppesen Workboat Navigator comes with copyright protected Professional+ Charts. These charts can only be accessed if you have purchased a license and have received a Product Security Key (also called an “eToken”). Workboat Navigator additionally comes with supplemental raster charts, River Distance Markers, River Estimated Time of Arrival calculators, Past Track Enhancements and much more. This combination of charts and data is collectively called NavData®.

Professional+ Charts and NavData have been subdivided into regions for purchase and subscription purposes. Each region is unlocked using the eToken License File provided at the time of purchase that validates your chart and data subscriptions.

Figure 1.1 - Jeppesen Workboat Navigator Screen

Product Security Key (eToken)

The Product Security Key, also called an “eToken”, is a security-based USB device that works like a Serial Number. The Product Security Key authenticates your computer to the software, allowing you to view the charts you have purchased.

Every time you use Workboat Navigator, the Product Security Key must be plugged into an available USB port on each computer running Workboat Navigator.

Before you install the software, make sure the Product Security Key is not plugged into a USB port. During software installation, you will be prompted by the Setup Wizard to plug your Product Security Key into an available USB port.

Hardware Overview

The following hardware devices output information that Jeppesen Workboat Navigator can recognize and integrate into on-screen display. All hardware products must be powered on and connected to your computer in order for Workboat Navigator to recognize them.

GPS (required)

1 - Introduction

A GPS receiver uses information from GPS satellite signals to calculate your position along with speed and direction. This information is transmitted to the computer, where Jeppesen Workboat Navigator places a graphic display of your boat at the transmitted location on the chart.

Jeppesen Workboat Navigator Installer’s Guide

1 - Introduction

WARNING

navigation when determining their position. Always use two or more methods to guard against errors that put your boat in a dangerous situation.

: Seasoned navigators know not to rely on a single method of

AIS/Target Tracking

Many Automatic Identification System (AIS) Transceivers are equipped to transmit and receive all AIS NMEA sentences. Jeppesen Workboat Navigator intelligently interprets and displays AIS target data in an easy-to-understand on-screen format.

Heading Sensor

A Heading Sensor produces highly accurate, stable readouts of your ship’s heading. The Heading Sensor in conjunction with Jeppesen Workboat Navigator will provide you with constant information about your ship’s attitude and rate of turn, as well as your heading vs. Course Over Ground (COG).

Depth Sensor

Depth Sensors are utilized to sense how “deep” a body of water is from top to bottom. Depth sensors may also be called pressure sensors. Depth sensors use electronic and mechanical means to measure depth.

Sounder

A depth sounder provides target and bottom detail, as well as advanced features such as dual frequencies, temperature display, range, gain, and shift settings.

Autopilot

Interfacing an autopilot with Jeppesen Workboat Navigator provides you with easier route planning and more precise direction-based navigation options and adjustments.

Wind Sensor/Anemometer

A sensor that monitors wind speed or wind speed and direction, and converts that data into a digital output signal.

1 - Introduction

Radar and the IR2-BB

The Nobeltec® InSight Radar 2 - Black Box (IR2-BB)™ is a specially designed hardware component that converts the analog output from most existing industry-standard radars into a digital stream that can be used by Jeppesen Workboat Navigator.

Jeppesen Workboat Navigator provides you with the tools to view radar transmissions received through the IR2-BB in a traditionally configured radar display on-screen or overlaid directly on top of your electronic charts.

Limits of Electronic Navigation

Jeppesen Workboat Navigator is developed by skilled software engineers and mathematicians. It undergoes rigorous safety and accuracy testing and quality assurance before it is released to the public to use on the water. However, occasional software issues or malfunctions could remain in the software. While Jeppesen Marine makes every effort to identify and repair software issues if they are discovered, this product is specifically not promised to be issue free.

Another limitation to complete accuracy is the status of your digital charts. Electronic charts are made by skilled cartographers. However, some cartographic surveys upon which digital charts are based were made over 50 years ago. Therefore, it is possible for errors to occur in the final products.

Product Security Key (eToken)

Each licensed copy of Jeppesen Workboat Navigator comes with a USB port device called a Product Security Key or an eToken. The eToken provides system verification that you are using a licensed copy of the software and NavData.

Jeppesen Workboat Navigator will not open without an eToken.

WARNING

Key (eToken) is not plugged into a USB port. During software installation, you will be prompted by the Setup Wizard to plug your Product Security Key into an available USB port. If you try to install the software when there is an eToken in the USB port you will get a corrupted installation.

eToken System ID

Each copy of Workboat Navigator is also assigned a unique identifier called the eToken System ID, specific to that copy of Workboat Navigator. This System ID is printed on the tag attached to the eToken. The System ID and the eToken are used to manage your subscription and chart permits.
