Seapilot for iPad

Professional marine navigation used to require an expensive GPS plotter. Now, same technology used in merchant shipping is available for the iPad.

Seapilot lets you navigate like a pro with vectorized S-57 chart data from National Maritime Administrations. Seapilot uses the iPad’s built in GPS, so it works even when there is no mobile network coverage. This is the first navigation app to feature Automatic Identification System (AIS) and AIS weather in real time, when within a mobile network. Charts available as In-App Purchase.

Use it to navigate, to plan tomorrow’s boat trip or reminisce about yesterday’s. (PS. Even works in your sofa at home.)
