Meridian offers a number of distinct improvements / refinements throughout many areas, but the primary improvements include the following.

Screen Display, Information Presentation and Manipulation

  • User Profile Settings: For sensor and chart system configuration and screen layout individual users can now create and save their own unique Profile under which all user settings for the system, as well as all layout screens, are stored. These Profiles can be exported or imported to other systems or users.
  • Alarm Management: All Meridian v3 versions of our software have enhanced system alarm management menus featuring quicker access and easier configuration than previous versions. We have also fitted a new anchor watch and alarm function for enhanced safety when at anchorage.
  • Sensor Management: Features an improved central sensor menu to activate and configure all incoming sensors to the electronic charting system. V3 also features a NMEA 0183 logger utility which allows the user to directly view and optionally save all incoming NMEA data streams from any and all sensors.

AIS Contact Management

  • CLASS A and CLASS B: Features enhanced AIS contact management menus that allow the user to distinguish and sort Class A from Class B contacts for improved situational awareness.
  • AIS Quick Info Display: New improved on-screen AIS quick info is semi-transparent to ensure that AIS quick info does not obscure any important information underneath.
  • Target Search/Watch: Allows the user to search AIS contacts by vessel name, MMSI, or CallSign.
  • Target Count / Underway: Tells the user total AIS targets in view and how many are underway.
