Yachtie
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
Yachtie lets you share your yacht's position and keep track of where your boating friends and family are. Perfect for co-ordinating that sundowner rendezvous or just staying in touch.
And, just like AIS, you can see important safety information about the Yachties around you, such as their direction of travel (COG), their MMSI/Callsign, and distance from you.
As well as being able to checkin when it suits, there is an auto-checkin option which lets Yachtie keep your friends updated while you get on with having fun. It's very kind on your battery life and data plan too.
Your checkins build into a trip log, complete with trip notes, distance travelled each trip and even a route map which you can save to your Photo Library ready for sharing with friends or that post-race tack analysis.
Finally, the new Yachtie broadcast system makes it simple to stay in touch with your family, friends, fleet, yacht club or owners association.
FEATURES:
• Find out where your boating friends and family are
• See Yachtie traffic on an AIS style display
• Calculates distance to your friends in Km, Miles or Nautical Miles
• Bookmark and search for your Yachtie friends
• Single click manual check in
• Optional Auto Checkin
• View and save your track to your photo library
• You can make your checkins private so only people in the same group as you can see you.
• Kind to your battery and data plan
• Send broadcast messages on the Yachtie broadcast system
REQUIREMENTS:
Yachtie needs an active data connection (e.g. 3G/Edge/GSM/WiFi) to check in and receive position updates from other Yachties. iPhones and iPad 3G are ideal.
WiFi only devices (e.g. iPad Wifi and iPod Touch) are great for tracking your boating friends and family from home, however WiFi hotspot coverage is limited on the water unless you connect your WiFi device to your iPhone Personal Hotspot (or perhaps a 3G wireless dongle) for best internet coverage when sailing.
This version requires IOS6, so if you have an original iPad or iPod touch and cannot upgrade past IOS 5, please search and download the "Yachtie (Legacy)" app instead.
IMPORTANT BUT BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS NOTICES
Yachtie is only as accurate as the information it gets from other Yachtie users. It does not (and cannot) guarantee the information is complete or accurate, and not all boats around you will be Yachtie users. By purchasing this app, you therefore agree that you will not use Yachtie for navigation or as a replacement for AIS, official safety aids or common sense.
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
