SonarWiz 5 Sonar Mapping Software Accelerated

A new survey-line pattern option that is used when filling closed polygons simplifies the setup of survey lines in complex geographic areas. This feature was also added to the office-based product so that more users can get involved in the survey planning process.

The new target-location function survey-line feature generates a four-line search set at a user-specified range and length centred on a target location. The four lines are automatically grouped and can immediately be rotated into a more favourable survey orientation if needed. This tool was requested by several users aiming to quickly assess and prosecute sonar contacts.

Enhanced change-detection tools enable swiping of individual survey lines. This new feature gives port security specialists the ability to compare the most current survey line with a previous adjacent survey line in real time.

SonarWiz 5 has also had other features added that speed up the survey from planning to acquisition and final data processing.
