Boat Navigation

Do you own a boat, ship, sailboat, yacht, canoe, kayak, or any other vessel? Do you enjoy traveling by your own boat but worry about getting lost? This app turns your phone into a powerful GPS navigation system for the sea.

Built on Google Maps Android API v2, the app lets you save and manage boat locations and routes, navigate to them with ease, and record routes for later review and analysis. For saved routes, you can navigate from your current position to the start, the end, or follow the entire route.

All locations and routes are displayed on the map: each location appears as a marker, and each route is shown as a line connecting two markers (start and end).

The app also includes a magnetic compass, tools to find addresses from coordinates and coordinates from map clicks, the ability to measure straight-line distances using coordinates or by clicking on the map, and real-time information such as longitude, latitude, speed, altitude, bearing, and full address (street, city, state, ZIP code, country, etc.).
