OLEX releases version 17.5

Norwegian based OLEX AS, the manufacturer of complete systems for navigation, plotting, 3D seafloor and fish mapping, is pleased to announce a series of follow up software releases which culminate to the latest OLEX 17.5 version. This is available, as a free download or through your local OLEX dealer, for an upgrade of existing systems providing many improvements which allow:

  • OS1 echosounder operation does not require an OS nokkel
  • Individual fetch-interval per URL
  • New button to turn off mapping with OS1
  • Can turn off display of SART, MOB and EPIRB from AIS listing
  • Various URL and OS1 improvements

Moreover, there were some bug fixes related to:

  • Spurious “mount” – complaint under AlmaLinux OS 9.5
  • Missing colors on 2D view and OS
  • Misplaced “A”-marker for OS
  • Fixed a showstopping bug which killed all serial ports
  • Intermittent crash when URL didn’t give plotter file
  • Possible uncertainty with legal or illegal Subsonus

After years of R&D and testing, OLEX AS has developed and keeps refining the most comprehensive seafloor topography mapping system available on the market. OLEX systems are based on Linux and are considered to be the most stable systems of their kind available on the commercial market. Speed, flexibility, and user-friendliness are important keywords to explain their success.

OLEX systems can use official and unofficial vector charts, in S57, shape and SOSI format, from Hydrographic Offices and commercial vendors. The navigation charts are displayed alongside the collected seabed data and the chart visualization software will always strive to achieve a clear and informative chart image and prevent the screen from filling up with unnecessary information, by displaying only information relevant to the current zoom scale. Zooming and chart display are fast, easy and seamless.
