SEAIQ PILOT VPP UPDATE
Also after installing it on your iPad and when you go to use it on your iPhone you just have to click purchase again and it will update although you don't get charged twice as long as your apple ID is the same. I will mention that with the entire world downloaded the system runs a bit slower but if you only have the area you are using installed it seems to run faster. i honestly would be happy sailing around the world with one(and a few paper charts for spare ) If you want a chart plotter for a tenth the cost of a marine version I suggest this app, an iPad and a lifeproof cover.
SEAIQ PILOT VPP UPGRADE
The 20 bucks to upgrade is well worth the price considering you can use it with already purchased or cm93 charts or with free us downloadable charts. I downloaded this app to use in the tender on iPad and iPhone and when not within range of our furuno tz touch. What could be improved is the overall app speed, and being able to use purchased charts across devices (I know that last is more a problem of the chart suppliers). It is the only marine navigation app that allows you to load your own charts in a variety of standard. My workflow involves planning and plotting on the laptop, then transferring the files to phone and iPad for reference underway. SEAiq is a full-featured marine navigation app. I’ve also loaded New Zealand ENC charts as well as purchased others from Chartworld. If you’re in the US you have free future access to all the official NOAA charts, and the tiling is handled reasonably well. Also useful is the ability to attach a VRM or EBL to AIS targets. The AIS functionality is also incredibly useful the course vectors and rate of turn indicators make it very easy to visualize crossing situations. (That last just involved creative use of a handful of EBLs.) I’ve added danger bearings, marked out anchorage areas, even plotted a running fix with it.

The chart tool functionality (multiple EBLs, VRMs, and other markup functions) mean you can, if needed, perform similar operations that you might be used to on paper charts. SEAiq is what I consider to be the only real navigation app around for iOS. MissingGravitas - Only “real” navigation app out there
