NAVFITX⚓︎

NAVFITX is a replacement for NAVFIT98A.

Open Terminal2, copy/paste the following command, and hit Enter.

curl -LsSf uvx.sh/navfitx/install.sh | sh

Upgrading⚓︎

Feature Parity⚓︎

NAVFITX aims to be a feature rich drop-in replacement for NAVFIT98; ie, an app that that has all of NAVFIT98's functionality and more so that you can seamlessly switch to NAVFITX today.

NAVFITX is actively being developed and has not yet reached full feature parity. The following list tracks which features are already available in NAVFITX and which are still being developed.

Star NAVFITX in Github⚓︎

You can "star" NAVFITX in GitHub (clicking the star button at the top right).

By adding a star, other users will be able to find it more easily and see that it has already been useful for others.

  1. Press the Win key, then type "powershell". ↩

  2. On Mac, hit Cmd+Space, then type "terminal". ↩

  3. NAVFITX uses SQLite databases. A future release will allow it to read database files generated from NAVFIT98 so that you can import your NAVFIT98 database into NAVFITX. ↩

  4. NAVFIT98 validation checks are not complete; reports that pass NAVFIT98 validation are not guaranteed to conform to BUPERSINST 1610.10H. NAVFITX does a lot more validation. It's not yet guaranteed to match BUPERSINST 1610.10H, but it guaranteed to do better/more complete validation than NAVFIT98. ↩
