iPhone Sailing

[TropicCat]

guys... you responded to a technology thread which is 2 years old. Heck, it's already obsolete

Hi These are some of the apps that I think are very useful while on a sailing boat (both for apple and android products)...
For navigation and chart purposes I like:

• chart and tides
• navionics

Also, when planning your trip, these apps might be useful:

• tide app
• NOAA Buoy and Tide data
• magnetic declination
• weather underground
• predict wind

Other apps that I put on my smartphone are:

• anchor alarm
• marine traffic
• ship finder
• signal flags info

If you want to keep a “how to sail” and “how to race” manual on your device check out:

• boater’s pocket reference
• RYA Handy Racing Rules

I love to improve my knowedge of stars and planet. For this purpose, I love:

• Star walk

TropicCat, thank you for advising me about the age of this post. Even though it may be two years old I was not aware of this age because I am new here. However I did find it to be very interesting to me to Share newer technology as it becomes available. 15 years ago I was carrying around a huge tower and monitor. Now I carry a laptop. My job demands that I carry my navigation equipment from boat to boat as jobs arise. The smallest technology becomes very inviting as long as you don't give up any reliability. As anyone knows a good Marriner never relies on just one form of navigation anyway. Thank you. captg
