TritonNav™ is a full-featured navigation and survey planning package designed for performing high-quality surveys with maximum efficiency. TritonNav™ is fully integrated in Triton's powerful TritonMap™ GIS system which means that position and survey data are viewed in a geo-referenced environment with any other type of data. TritonNav™ accepts navigation from two separate sources and displays survey data from all survey sensors. Data output is completely customizable.

Survey Planning

Survey lines can be planned directly on the screen by using drawing tools or by defining individual waypoints. The program can automatically set-up parallel or perpendicular lines using a reference line . A survey plan for a channel of any shape can also be defined by the program.

Sensor Interfaces

TritonNav™ accepts serial inputs from navigation sources in the NMEA0183 format. Templates for other formats are available (NR202K, TritonNav™, ATS, Posidonia, Track Point II). Data from survey sensors (single-beam echo sounders, multibeams) and auxiliary sensors (gyros, depth sensors, sound velocity probes) are also received by serial or Ethernet link.

Each navigation source is further defined through three parameters:

• Offsets - correct antenna position relative to the reference point
• Geodesy - sets datum and projection

• Shapes - determine the graphical representation of the
  positioned entity on-screen (towfish, vessel, etc)

Integrated Survey Planning

TritonNav™ displays all the information required to follow the survey plan and performs quality control checks during the survey.

Operator-Configurable Alarms

TritonNav™ offers operators the possibility of defining a wide variety of alarms. These alarms can be both visual and audible with triggering based on operator-defined thresholds. Data from GPS, gyro, motion sensor, and single-beam echo sounder can be monitored.

 

Wide Image Compatability

TritonNav™ can import GeoTIFF, ECDIS, and BSB

 

Single-Beam Profile Display

Both high frequency and low frequency channels from a single-beam echo sounder can be displayed. Audible alarms may be set for shallow and deep thresholds, warning if the boat is entering a hazardous area or if sounding accuracy is poor.

Compass Display

Heading information (e.g. true course-over-ground) based on the incoming compass, navigation, or gyro string can be displayed in a separate window.

 

Helmsman Display

The helmsman can check the position of the vessel relative to the selected survey line. The parameters monitored include:

• Distance from SOL/EOL
• Off-line distance
• Course to waypoint
• Course to steer
• Recording status of navigation data
