Many of you use our 2024 charts, including the popular DKW1800 with weekly BaZ updates.
Unfortunately, due to changes in Windows, we temporarily cannot guarantee that WinGPS 5 and WinGPS 6 will automatically download chart updates or show them in the News Center.We are currently working hard on a solution.

The updates work well in the WinGPS versions for Android and iOS. These are shown when you start WinGPS Marine with an internet connection.

In the meantime, to be assured of our (weekly) updates, we recommend the following:

  • First close WinGPS and open DKW Manager.
  • Click on 'Install / Update'.
  • Then choose 'DKW2 charts from the internet' and click 'Next'.
  • Enter your Stentec account here (if it has not already been automatically filled in) and click 'Next'.
  • You will now see the list of your DKW charts. Available updates are indicated in green as 'Updates Available' and are automatically checked.
  • Click 'Next' to download and install the updates.
  • When DKW Manager is finished, click 'OK' and you can restart WinGPS. The updated charts are now loaded and you can use them for navigation again.
We recommend going through these steps prior to any trip and route planning, especially for the DKW 1800 Series and DKW German Bight, which receive weekly updates.

We apologize for any inconvenience.
