Cockpit Plotter | 5" Square Nautical & Aeronautical Navigation Tool

The Versatile Multi-Tool for Sea and Sky

Precision doesn't require a large desk. The Cockpit Plotter is an essential, high-speed plotting instrument designed for the tight confines of a small navigation station, an aircraft cockpit, or even a navigator’s lap. Measuring just 5" x 5", it provides the full functionality of larger tools in a pocket-sized footprint.

Whether you are navigating by the stars or cross-referencing aeronautical charts, this plotter allows you to work accurately on any map scale—even if the compass rose is folded out of sight.
