## What is Harbor Safe Navigation & GPS?

Harbor Safe Navigation is your complete boating companion for preparing, navigating and tracking your trips on the water.

Designed for boaters, sailors, anglers, jet ski riders and coastal cruising, Harbor Safe combines marine GPS, nautical charts, marine weather, live location sharing, Apple Watch navigation and a digital boating logbook in one simple and highly readable app.

Prepare before leaving the dock with everything you need in one place:
• Choose your boat and destination
• Add people on board
• Set your expected return time
• Complete a trip specific safety checklist
• Check weather and sea conditions
• Review departure conditions before heading out

When conditions require extra attention, Harbor Safe explains why, including wind, gusts, waves, weather or a return planned after sunset. Get a clearer picture of the conditions before you leave.

MARINE GPS NAVIGATION

Turn your iPhone into a clear and responsive marine cockpit.

Follow your:
• Real time GPS position

The navigation view follows your boat and keeps essential information visible at a glance, with an interface designed to remain readable while you are on the water.

View your speed, course, distance, duration, destination and remaining distance. Use the mini map to follow your navigation and save important positions directly from your Apple Watch.

Keep an eye on your active navigation without constantly reopening Harbor Safe.
Essential trip information can remain accessible from your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island while your trip is active.

SMART REMINDERS
Harbor Safe can notify you when your trip has remained active for an extended period, when your expected return time is approaching or when sunset is getting close.
Keep your favorite ports, marinas, anchorages, fishing spots and other useful locations easily accessible.
Save your current position while navigating to remember an anchorage, fishing spot or useful location and find it again later.

MANAGE YOUR BOATS
Keep your boats together in Harbor Safe with the information you need before each trip. Select your boat when preparing a navigation and build a complete history of your time on the water.

YOUR DIGITAL BOATING LOGBOOK
Every completed trip can be saved to your navigation history.

Interactive graphs let you explore your trip data in greater detail and keep a clear record of previous trips.

Harbor Safe adapts to coastal cruising, fishing, anchoring, water sports, jet ski trips and everyday boating.
Quick Trip also lets you start tracking in seconds when you simply want to get on the water without completing the full preparation process.

From preparation to navigation and your return, Harbor Safe brings your essential boating tools together in a fast, modern and easy to read experience.
Plan your trip. Check the conditions. Navigate with marine GPS. Share your position. Keep your memories and navigation history.
