A special feature of the NAVTEX from ICS is the built-in barograph with calculation of the expected wind speed from the air pressure change.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, although NAVTEX has been on the market for many years, it has lost none of its usefulness. The systems are inexpensive to purchase, easy to install, and work independently of any cellular network. The barograph function with storm warning underlines this even more.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_37898\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37898\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/seahelp_ober-yachtelektronik_gmdss_nav-area-iii_ics-nav6-navtex.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-37898\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/seahelp_ober-yachtelektronik_gmdss_nav-area-iii_ics-nav6-navtex-750x469.jpg\" alt=\"ICS NAV6 NAVTEX\" width=\"750\" height=\"469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/seahelp_ober-yachtelektronik_gmdss_nav-area-iii_ics-nav6-navtex-750x469.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/seahelp_ober-yachtelektronik_gmdss_nav-area-iii_ics-nav6-navtex-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/seahelp_ober-yachtelektronik_gmdss_nav-area-iii_ics-nav6-navtex-1140x713.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/seahelp_ober-yachtelektronik_gmdss_nav-area-iii_ics-nav6-navtex.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-37898\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ICS NAV6 NAVTEX | Photo: Werner Ober GmbH &#038; Co KG<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Information and advice<\/h2>\n<p>For more information about Navtex, please contact WERNER OBER GmbH &#038; Co KG &#8211; Yacht Electronics in person or by email.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yachtelektronik.at\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-37882\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/yachtelektronik_werner-ober.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"256\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/yachtelektronik_werner-ober.png 256w, https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/yachtelektronik_werner-ober-250x250.png 250w, https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/yachtelektronik_werner-ober-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/www.sea-help.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/yachtelektronik_werner-ober-75x75.png 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Werner Ober GmbH &#038; Co KG<\/strong><br \/>\nYacht electronics<br \/>\nReichsstrasse 38<br \/>\n6890 Lustenau | Austria<\/p>\n<p>Tel: <a title=\"Call Ober Yachtelektronik\" href=\"tel:0043557782419\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">+43 (0)5577 824 19<\/a><br \/>\nEmail: <a title=\"Email to Ober Yachtelektronik\" href=\"mailto:werner.ober@yachtelektronik.at\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">werner.ober@yachtelektronik.at<\/a><br \/>\nWeb: <a title=\"Werner Ober GmbH &#038; Co KG - Yacht Electronics\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yachtelektronik.at\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.yachtelektronik.at<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NAVTEX (NAVigational TEXt Messages) is an information service which has been introduced by the IMO for commercial shipping and has passed a functional test for the first time in 1977 in Sweden.
