| Founded in 1994 by Robert Gehrsitz and Pat
DeGroodt, Digital Wave is most widely recognized for
bringing Pilot Chart based passage planning to the PC in
the product Visual Passage Planner (VPP).
The original idea
behind VPP was to develop an automated way for
Pat and his wife Colleen to plan various routes around
the globe for their planned circumnavigation (which, by
the way, they began in August of 1998). Pat has
since left the company due to his 'round the world trip,
although he is still a consultant to Digital Wave.
You can keep track of the DeGroodt's voyage
around the world directly from this web site, just
follow this link.
Today, the company continues to evolve the VPP
product, but also provides custom software solutions for
a variety of other industries. Our customers span every
facet of the marine industry, from national naval forces and
commercial shipping, to amateur cruisers and armchair
sailors.
