RASTER CHARTS vs. VECTOR CHARTS

The Land Information New Zealand Raster Nautical Charts in iSailGPS NZ differ from computer-drawn vector ENC charts in that each chart covers a specific area, the same way a paper nautical chart does. Switches automatically to a new chart when you leave the area covered by the previous chart. For many locations, there are multiple charts at different scales with different levels of detail & areas of coverage.

Paper charts can contain multiple panels, each showing a different area or scale. Each digital panel is individually displayed by iSailGPS NZ with a north-up orientation.

iSail GPS NZ is priced to make it readily available to all boating enthusiasts.

iSailGPS NZ and the charts that it includes do NOT meet the legal requirements for navigation using charts that you may be required to carry.


DEVICE REQUIREMENTS

Use iSailGPS on any iOS device even if you don't have a cellular data plan for it. iPhones & WiFi+cellular iPads support all features. For WiFi-only iPads, an iOS-compatible external GPS receiver is required to show your location & record tracks. You can view charts using the iOS device alone.

What's new in iSailGPS NZ when compared with other available New Zealand chart apps?

You don't just see waypoints and routes displayed on the chart, you can actually do real great circle navigation to those waypoints and along those routes. You get information such as Estimated Time of Arrival, current bearing, heading and cross-track error, and remaining distances to your intermediate and final destinations.

You can create, import, edit, export, and navigate both on routes based on a recorded or imported path, and on routes based on a series of waypoints.

Get the weather report and forecast, the sun and moon position, rise and set times, and driving directions to the dock for any point on a chart with a few taps.

iSailGPS NZ's code size is kept very small by efficient programming so in an emergency, you can download it easily even over a weak cell connection.

The current version of iSailGPS NZ runs on the latest devices and also on older devices with older versions of iOS , all the way back to devices such as the iPhone 6.

Check the App Privacy section. We don't know who you are when you are using iSailGPS NZ. We never send your current location or your recorded track to our servers. Hence we cannot and don't use your location data. We cannot and don't provide your location data to anyone else. Unlike other mapping apps that profit from using your location data in ways that do not keep it private, iSailGPS NZ maintains the highest level of data confidentially.
