Full access to all data in vector charts.

Chart quilting: when viewing areas covered by different charts, SEA iq will quilt them together, selecting the best available chart data for the scale you are viewing at.

View charts using normal iPad gestures, including pan, zoom, and rotate.

Includes a base chart of the world (not suitable for navigation).

Fully offline use: there is no need to be connected to the internet.

Other features common to all our apps include: When specified by the chart, SEA iq uses symbolized lines and area patterns, making the charts easier to ready and giving them a raster-like appearance (SEA iq apps are the only ones to do this). All fonts and symbols are generated specifically for your device so they are clear and easy to read. The SEA iq apps display marine charts on your iPad and provide most common chart plotter features and leveraging the high quality displays and integrated GPS found on most iPads.Īll our apps provide crisp and clear chart display (see our screen shots). 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.Recreational mariners can have many of the features in SEA iq Pilot, at a much lower price by using one of our recreational apps.

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).

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. 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. 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).
