TERLARIS- IMO Standard AIS Pilot Plug (AMP) support for iNavX iSailor. ![]() IMO STANDARD AIS PILOT PLUG (AMP) SUPPORT FOR INAVX ISAILOR AISPILOT. An in-app purchase is required to permanently upgrade the app, otherwise after the evaluation period only basic chart viewing is supported. TERLARIS AIS PILOT WIFI PLUG SUPPORT SEAIQ PILOT INAVX ISAILOR ON IPAD. All features are available during a 7-day evaluation period. IMPORTANT: For non-pilots, we recommend SEAiq and SEAiq USA. It includes support for charts in the S-57, S-63, iENC and BSB/KAP formats and use of external NMEA/AIS over WiFi. SEAiq Pilot is designed especially for use by river, channel, and harbor pilots. IMPORTANT: For non-pilots, we recommend SEAiq and. I haven’t figured out how that feature works yet, but I’m going to test the app some more.SEAiq Pilot is designed especially for use by river, channel, and harbor pilots. ![]() I’ve noted the app’s excellent NMEA data over WiFi abilities in the past, for instance, and I think that SEAiq is the first charting program to display NOAA’s valuable Zones of Confidence. SEAiq’s main market is professional pilots, and even the recreational versions have a serious mariner feel, as I’ve tried to illustrate with some of the extra screenshots. ![]() (There’s also supposed to be an Android version but I can’t find it). I hope you’ve also noticed in the images that SEAiq can do a whole lot more than showing WG and AC data, and get this: All the iPad screenshots here were taken using SEAiq USA, which costs just $5 (after the 7-day free trial) with access to all NOAA vector and raster charts. Position your AIS antennas with finger tipĪlso, Waterway Guide has great bridge info ![]() I know from past experience that the AC shoaling warnings are often redundant and/or quite outdated, and the difficulty of using so many while also negotiating the skinny NJ ICW made me wish AC had pro editors.Īdvanced vector chart controls, with ZoC’s! Now in this case, an AC captain also referenced the (original) LNM - and it’s quite nice that some other AC contributors reported on how well the added green can keep you in deep water, as it did for me this morning - but in my experience, AC Hazard info is pretty hit and miss.įor example, if I end up having to run some of the New Jersey ICW, it will be interesting to see if the few (but edited) WG Nav Alerts actually outperform AC’s way-too-many Hazard markers (you’ll have to pan/zoom the AC Livemap to Atlantic City, as it doesn’t seem to support location links anymore). I like the distinctive WG Nav Alert icon, and especially appreciate the Local Notice to Mariner’s detail that was entered by a professional editor, who also recently updated it. The four SEAiq iPad screens above show how the publication WaterGuide and the crowdsourced ActiveCaptain Community each handle a shoaling situation along the main channel into Norfolk’s Willoughby Bay (where Gizmo and I are waiting out a sou’west blow).
