VPP2 automates the tedious, time consuming task of evaluating passage conditions and then estimating passage elapsed times with pen and paper. Using VPP2, many "what-if" scenarios can be played out in the time it would take to manually calculate one route using traditional methods, allowing selection of the best route. Planning, passage with VPP2 is as easy as 1, 2, 3. Enter waypoints on the world-wide chart display area to define, route. Select, particular report to view or simply view the Instant Report window.

Based on various wind, current, wave height and other Pilot Chart based weather information within VPP2, waypoints may be moved by mouse or keyboard to optimize, route.

The Automatic Route Optimization feature in VPP2 will even try to maximize or minimize any of the many route parameters i. The Instant Reports feature gives you continuous feedback on the passage in real-time as the changes are made. Further optimization of the route can be made right up to departure time and with laptop computer aboard a VPP will continue to provide updates during the passage and predict your noon-positions as you progress.
