A new mapping tool for easy passage planning to marinas

The website ‘www.whichmarina.com‘ has a new, free mapping
tool.

It enables boaters to research marinas in any given area and then plan
their journey using the fully detailed marine charts.

The site is operated by the Yacht
Harbour Association (TYHA), a global trade association
established to support and develop the marina industry.

It’s teamed up
with leading electronic chart company, Navionics, to provide a detailed listing
of all its members on a full set of global nautical charts.


Whichmarina.com users can use
‘Geolocation’ to locate their computer or portable device and then display
details of local marinas with Gold Anchor ratings as well as using Google’s
‘Panoramio’ service to offer a full database of photos taken in the area.

TYHA General Manager, Gareth
Turnbull said: ‘The new mapping tool
makes it incredibly easy to plan a passage and locate suitable marinas, all
from within one site.

‘We’re
pleased to say we are offering this new service free from any charge or
subscription.’
