20. An electronic navigational system, comprising:
-
a graphical user interface including an input device and a display; a processor to; develop a navigational route based on a characteristic of a vessel for which the route is to be developed, wherein the processor employs a navigational aid in developing the route; and the route provides a clearance from a navigational hazard based on the characteristic. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. An electronic navigational system, comprising:
-
a processor configured to store nautical navigation routes derived from SONAR logs from a plurality of marine electronic systems, each of which is developed using water depth measurements produced by a plurality of independent measuring devices the stored routes providing a clearance for a vessel according to a characteristic of the vessel; and the processor responsive to requests by providing saved nautical navigation routes to a marine electronic system for use in navigation. - View Dependent Claims (30)
