Qastor

World Leading Portable Pilot Software

QPS_Logo_copy.jpg   Since 2000, QPS (Quality Positioning Services BV) have been active in the supply and development of portable electronic charting and navigation systems for the marine pilot.

The software component of Navicom Dynamics’ products is QASTOR - a powerful electronic software system that provides the pilot with easy to use and easy to understand information.

Navicom Dynamics combines the world's leading pilot ECDIS software with the leading portable pilot technology.

Standards 

QASTOR is designed in compliance with:

  • IHO
  • IMO
  • IEC standards.

 QASTOR uses type-approved ECDIS engines for digital chart presentation. Various formats can be read and displayed, such as IHO S-57 Version 3 and C-Map CM93 version 3. QASTOR supports the IHO S-63 security mechanism as used by Primar and IC-ENC.

QASTOR is developed in line with Windows ® GUI (Graphic user interface) guidelines, making it user-friendly and easy to use.
