  • Great navigation app!

    We're sailing around the world on our yacht (3yrs and 3/4 of the way), I've tried all the major apps and this is most comprehensive I've used. I love it!
    Being able to use a wide range of different charts that I already have is great. The ability to download google satellite charts for free to use offline is great for remote areas where charts are less accurate is very handy.
    Exporting routes to our weather routing software is very easy for this app too.
    With 2 weeks use and lots of playing, I like it : )

  • Confusing variations of same Ap?

    I heard this was a good iPad platform to view and see your vessel's position on downloaded google maps/charts? There are multiple variations to download, and it is not clear about the differences between them? It always asks you to upgrade for more money, but does not explain what you are getting. Worse, it doesn't just upgrade your version, you download yet another Ap. So if you already installed charts on one version, you then need to reinstall the same charts again... This Ap needs a lot of work to make it user friendly.

  • Crashes

    When i try to delete this program, it freezes my ipad ii. Have reset the ipad to recover.
  • Love it

    I don't know what to say but I use seaiq just about every day and have garmin and navionics on my iPad as well. All the other chart plotter apps seem like toys to me, SeaIQ is the app for the serious navigator.
  • Cute App - Too expensive

    It's a cute app. I enjoyed checking out the 7 day trial, but paying 40 dollars to be able to create waypoints is brutally expensive. 10 dollars and you would have had me... Especially considering the cost of the charts on top of the application. Nice work on the app though, and if you ever lower the price I'll buy it, but 40 dollars is not worth it. Thanks.

  • Great App

    This is a great app with a solid feature set. The support for S63 charts is great - even if you have to use a couple of steps to load them initially.
    I like the responsiveness of the developer and I expect it will just get better and better. The AIS functionality is excellent and particularly the actual size feature.
    My key want is for the app to be able to broadcast the waypoint it is sailing to and things like DTG XTE BTW so that they can be consumed by NMEA repeaters, autopilot etc.

  • Sailor

    Very good app. Allows me to use my cm93 charts so don't have to pay for yet another set of charts. AIS function works great although icons for vessels are a bit basic. The only grumble I have is the rendering speed-it can be a bit slow at times, but that's probably because the charts are zipped and might be decompressed on the fly. Also, the full cm93 set is huge, its a pity the app doesn't allow selection of discreet areas of the charts. I highly recommend this app if you have the cm 93 set. The AIS repeater from my laptop is a real bonus.

  • Yep, it's free but press any button and you need 19.99 to continue.

    It does nothing free, not intuitive on chart loading. Everything is an upgrade. Useless as a free app. Less than one star.....
  • This app is great

    I downloaded this app to use in the tender on iPad and iPhone and when not within range of our furuno tz touch.
    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.

    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. i honestly would be happy sailing around the world with one(and a few paper charts for spare;)

    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. 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.
    Happy sailing and thanks seaiq for putting chart plotters within reach of the common people. I wonder how long it is before everyone is using iPad as there main chart plotters?

  • Can display CM93 CMap charts

    I am still searching for THE iPad navigation program. Someone recommended SEAiq to me. Without paying a cent, I was able to try it out and easily loaded my existing CM93 chart library onto my iPad. Very cool. To see below 50,000:1 chat detail, you do have to pay, but a reasonable price. Thumbs up for the try-before-you-buy capability. Have not actually navigated with it yet, but will soon.
