Nobeltec (formerly Nobeltec) is the leading developer of PC-based marine navigation products. The Company was established in 1993 by two ex-Microsoft engineers and avid boaters. Their idea was to produce a Windows® based software program that displayed electronic navigation charts and tracked vessel positions with a GPS. The Company’s first product, Navtrek, was a huge success. Due to the increasing popularity of PCs over the next few years, sales took off. Soon after, Nobeltec broadened its product line by releasing Navtrek 97 and Navtrek Solo.

In 1999, Nobeltec merged with Nautical Software, a company that produced the popular ChartView Series and the award-winning Tides & Currents program. Soon after merging, Nobeltec released Visual Navigation Suite 5.0 and Passport World Charts, which proved to be two of the most successful products in Nobeltec’s history.

Shortly thereafter, Nobeltec was purchased by Jeppesen Sanderson Inc., a global producer of aviation charts, both in paper and digital formats. Jeppesen is a fully owned subsidiary of the Boeing Company. Jeppesen renamed Nobeltec to Jeppesen Marine. Because of strong recognition in the marine industry, Jeppesen has retained usage of the Nobeltec name for its entire line of products. Nobeltec now offers a complete line of navigation products including Admiral MAX Pro, VNS MAX Pro, MAX Pro cartography, Passport World Charts, Radar, and Sounder.

Nobeltec products can be purchased from qualified Nobeltec dealers globally.
