McMurdo's New Navtex
... written for Panbo by Yme Bosma and posted on Jul 30, 2004
If you're looking for a way to have (pdf, p13) alerts of new shipwrecks highlighted on your electronic charts in real-time, McMurdo has the answer...
"The receiver has a RS422 data output, which enables it to be integrated into an electronic chart display (ECDIS) - which automatically converts the safety warning into an alert which is displayed on the chart (for example indicating a new shipwreck). The electronic chart software can scan the message for a latitude and longitude reference."
