Not too useful for the average boater, but still interesting to know that 1000ft freighter that just passed you may be running SEAiq! Of course, this is only a supplement to the vessel's on-board ECDIS systems. All of this account for the position of the GPS antenna, shape of the vessel, and rate-of-turn. They've been asking for some time for additional support that allow them to identify the wharf and get real time display of angle to the wharf, distance and closing velocity from various key points of their vessel, etc. They like SEAiq because it is the only app that lets them load the same official marine charts used on the vessels they board and it has high quality AIS support with true-scale vessel display. We have a growing number of harbor/river pilots using SEAiq on their iPads for their work.

The paid upgrade is still required to display charts below 1:50000 scale and unlock the other features such as GPS, NMEA, and AIS. At no cost, you can download either of our free apps display charts and ActiveCaptain data. We just released version 2.2.1 of the SEAiq apps, which now includes free ActiveCaptain support. By the way, Army Corps of Engineering distributes their charts in the S-57 format you can use them in SEAiq Open today. S-63 support allows you to purchase charts for anywhere in the world from In the upcoming release + 1, we are planning to add automatic download (similar to NOAA charts) for the Army Corps of Engineering IENC's for US rivers to our SEAiq USA and SEAiq Free apps. Inland ENC support allows display of the free charts available for much of Europe's rivers. In the upcoming release, the main additions are support for the Inland ENC format and S-63 support. You can transfer waypoints, routes, and tracks to other apps, send them via email, or transfer them directly to/from your laptop. In the most recent release we added import/export of waypoints. We make a point of fixing all user-reported bugs with each release. I'll send you an email separately to get more details. I just tested it on my phone and it worked ok. Thanks for the note! Sorry I didn't see this comment earlier. Version 1.2 of the app was just released on April 13, 2012.

He makes full use of all the information supplied on these vector charts. He has built a slick and efficient app that provides easy download of NOAA ENC Vector charts. He related to me how he was frustrated with many of the apps out there and wanted to create one that addressed all his needs. Mark knows first hand what is required by a charting and navigation app and the type of information we are all looking for while out on the water. The author of this app is a sailor which I find very beneficial. Their adventures can be followed on their blog.
Mark Hayden, his wife and their new born child are presently cruising Australia after successfully sailing through the Caribbean, transiting the Panama Canal and the Pacific Ocean.

Take a software engineer with a PhD in computer science, add equal parts live aboard family man, captain and world cruiser and you have the creator of this new unique app called SEAiq.
