Andrew,

I see that you are about to launch. I have been using this app on my sailboat out of Boston harbor for two months as a backup to my garmin....more specifically for depths that my plotter does not show. I love the fact that I still get to look at classic charts. This app has been great for me and very accurate. My wish list would be knot meter or drift alarm so I could leave my phone on overnight while on anchor rather than my boat power....but I still live this app as is. Great job.

Chris,

Thanks for the note, and we're glad it's been useful!

An "anchor alarm" is pretty high on our list at this point, so I think you will get your wish. We are planning to do POI/tide/weather search and route-tracking first.

Andrew
