• [NEW] Can now navigate using AIS data if using a transponder type AIS unit or a plugger. This means there is no need to attach a GPS to the computer, as position, course and speed data are read from the vessel's outbound AIS signals. This method will be used automatically if the AIS is a transponder type and is switched on. If a directly-attached GPS is also present and switched on the GPS will be preferred.
• [NEW] Added an 'Instruments' panel. This shows, position, course, speed, etc. It is separate from the general panel that shows, waypoints, routes, AIS data, etc, so that the two can be seen at the same time.
• [NEW] Added a 'GoTo' facility, including route following. Right click to create a GoTo. If the clicked point is a routepoint, you can optionally choose to continue following the remainder of the route once that point is reached. When a GoTo is active, various data, including BTW (bearing to waypoint), XTE (cross-track error) and ETA (estimated time of arrival) are shown on the Instruments panel.
• [FIXED] Addressed an issue where the display of AIS targets could sometimes lag their true positions by a significant amount of time. Positions are also updated more frequently: every 1.5s instead of every 10.5s.
• [IMPROVED] Audible warning of AIS close shaves now fires once every 15s (was once every 10.5s).

Plus a number of other minor fixes and improvements.
