So, welcome to the new world of more rapid technological advancement on boats! Start considering what to do when your boat gets hit by ligh*cough* *cough*… needs an upgrade. I’m keen to try an app I heard about that lets you get text alarm messages on shore when your boat is dragging anchor, or based on other things like if the winds go up.

We can run anchor alarm apps from a variety of players, we can see charts from proprietary systems, and install free charts as well, and we can also install new virtual apps and instruments as they come out that provide unforeseen new capabilities. On a fundamental level, what this means is that with our new network (which is very energy efficient by the way, meaning we can leave the N2K network and instruments turned on all the time) we can easily check with a phone, tablet, laptop, or any of our built-in displays – to check on weather, winds, etc. And, with this technology just getting out there, we’re only just seeing the beginning of a new era of more rapid application development for boats.

Some of them (like SeaIQ) show complete AIS data as well. And, a number of other apps on iOS (iPad/iPhone), reportedly work very well including SeaIQ (by my friend Mark Hayden on s/v Northfork), and the popular iNavX. I’ve also downloaded and run NavMonPC (another freeware PC app that provides different control instrument views on the data).

(NOTE: I later updated to the new version of OpenCPN 3.3 on my Mac OSX and it works really well too). Suddenly I had all kinds of data including not only wind, GPS, and waypoints – but also even AIS data and more! Check out this screenshot showing OpenCPN running on Windows XP using VMWare on my Mac (click for a bigger view). Pilots use the SeaIQ PPU, which ties into ships AIS to retrieve.

You can tap into that through the WIFI access point as well! This means I was able to simply connect to the WIFI, open up OpenCPN (a powerful free navigation software package on desktop OSes – Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux) and make a connection to the data port. the ports (BTS 2017) and spatial maps of allisions, collisions, and groundings near. Further, the chartplotter can also output the N2K network data into a data port that provides the data as NMEA 0183 (the old format) which most applications still use. * Mariners tools: VRM, EBL, Mariners Notes, Clearing LinesĬontinued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.OpenCPN with LOTS of dataWhat really gets exciting with this technology, and the amazing contribution Navico has made by introducing it, is that they have made the GoFree™ application interfaces open – so anyone can develop apps using the interfaces to the system ( see comments by Ben at Panbo). * Waypoints, routes, ETA, XTD, speed limits

SEAIQ BAHAMAS CHARTS PORTABLE

* Supports WiFi based AIS plugs and Portable Pilot Units * Docking aids displaying distance/velocity to wharf fenders * Adheres to IHO S-52 chart display standards * Support for official HO S-57/S-63 marine charts

For non-pilots, we recommend SEAiq and SEAiq USA. It supports S-57, S-63, Inland ENC, and BSB/KAP formats.

SEA iq (US49.99, International & USA) SEA iq is the only vector marine chartplotter app that allows you to use your own charts on your iPhone or iPad. IMPORTANT: you can try all the features in SEAiq Pilot VPP by downloading our other app, SEAiq Pilot, which is the same app but with a 7-day evaluation period. SEA iq uses NOAA charts, as well as charts you provide and is intended for mariners who need charts outside the USA.

It includes support for displaying charts in the S-57, S-63, iENC, and BSB/KAP formats and use of external NMEA/AIS over WiFi. SEAiq Pilot VPP is designed especially for use by river, channel, and harbor pilots.
