Category: Navigation
Price: $19.99, Version: 2.0.1 -> 3.6.1 ()



Description:

Discover why Charts&Tides is the best marine navigation solution for your iPhone!

Our software combines marine charts, tides, weather and navigation in an easy to use package right at your fingertips. At a fraction of the price we offer features normally found on portable chartplotters that are worth hundreds of dollars!

In detail:

- Our charts are vector charts that are derived from official NOAA data. We preprocess the data to make it continuous (no manual chart switching) and to ensure consistency.
- Our tides are computed from tide harmonics data that are also derived from official NOAA data.
- The full database is included in this download, so you will always have it with you. You do not need a 3G or WiFi connection to access our charts or our tides.
- You can move, zoom or rotate the chart using your fingers. Our chart looks great at any scale and rotation because we use vector chart technology.
- You can search for any feature (place, harbor, location, buoy, etc.) using the search bar at the top.
- To get additional information about a feature of your interest just tap on it.
- To measure the distance and find the bearing between any two points use the “ruler” tool.
- You can view the tides and currents for any station in your region. Please note: the tides button has been removed. Use the search bar to access tides functionality.
- Our software will track your vessel’s location, speed and track using the iPhone’s built-in location services. It will also record your vessel’s past track for the last 12 hours. Please note: the application must be running to properly track a vessel’s location.
- You can add, edit and delete waypoints. Hold your finger over the chart to add a new waypoint.
- You can navigate to your waypoints using a Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) instrument that is normally only found in aircraft! To see the instrument press the “PAGE” button. The instrument shows in a graphical manner your vessel’s heading (red arrow) as well as the desired track and cross track error (yellow arrow) when navigating to a waypoint.
- You can choose between “Day” and “Night” color schemes for your main chart display.
