NEW: The guide works on Intel based MacIntosh computers using the new virtual WindowsXP
In 2008-2009 we completed a circumnavigation of New Caledonia and revisited all the anchorages on our guide. We added hundreds of new images, including virtual reality images, new anchorages with detailed hydrographic surverys, and new GPS routes. When you consider a single New Caledonia nautical chart costs more than US$50 you'll realize the unparalleled value of getting 190 detailed high resolution photo-charts with the most recent shallow water hydrographic surveys for around US$0.84 each. Not to mention the enormous amount of additional information and photographs that you won't find anywhere else at any price.
The CD-ROM based Nautical Rocket Guide to New Caledonia is the most advanced and easiest to use cruising guide you've ever seen. If you have seen or used the well known Cruising Guide to Vanuatu or the popular tourism guides Rocket Guide to Vanuatu and Rocket Guide to New Caledonia you have an idea of the quality and usefulness of this anchorage and sailing guide. The Nautical Rocket Guide to New Caledonia is even better than these pace-setting Rocket Guides and includes detailed photo-charts, sailing routes, GPS waypoints and anchorages for all of New Caledonia, from Huon Atoll in the far north to Ile des Pins in the south and all of the Loyalty islands.
New Caledonia has a host of anchorages (we have 190 anchorage and navigation photocharts on the guide), superb diving, excellent fishing, and white sand beaches surrounding uninhabited lagoon islets. You will also find unbeatable walking tracks with crystal clear rivers and waterfalls.
And in Noumea you'll find quality marinas, yacht services and facilities. The 2009 version of the Cruising Guide to New Caledonia includes photo-charts and details of where to find everything from supermarkets to stainless bolts and fittings to someone to repair your latest hardware problem.
The Nautical Rocket Guide to New Caledonia puts you into orbit above New Caledonia, using high resolution satellite imagery from NASA and ASTER plus even higher resolution aerial photography. You can see the entire country and all the islands and zoom in to close up details of anchorages and passes. A set of simple icons allows you to instantly overlay information on depths, nav aids, sailing routes, GPS points, and points of interest onto the satellite image. The light houses flash at the correct rates, the buoys and markers are up to date, and there are hundreds of photos, including spherical panoramas, to give you a seriously wonderful understanding of cruising in New Caledonia.
Here is an example of one of the sphere panoramas on the guide:
