Navig8 Sailing

• Too shallow for my yacht: A new layer in the Map menu hatches water too shallow for your draft, and restricted areas, from your downloaded regions — for every signed-in plan. Point info says whether a point is deep enough for you, and shallow-water warnings have a Show shallows on map button. Where navig8 has no shallow-water data yet, the app says so and Route Information marks those legs. • Wind over the water: Optimisation judges speed, tacks and the engine on the forecast wind minus the current, so routes and arrival times in strong tides are more realistic. Wind arrows turn red from 34 kn, and high waves on the bow (2.5 m and more) are a route risk too. • Longer routes: Up to 1,500 Nm on every plan, and a leg on downloaded maps has no length limit. Long legs round a peninsula (Split → Bastia, Gijón → Faro) are found on the phone; missing maps on the way are named and pre-selected for download. The optimisation stops where the forecast ends (about 5 days) and the rest gets an estimated arrival time (≈). • Offline maps: Removing many maps no longer runs out of memory; the download panel shows a line per base map, bathymetry and seabed, the screen stays on during a download, and a download resumes when you return to the app. Newer map data is no longer downloaded on its own — the app asks, says how many MB, and Update all runs in one panel with Cancel. • Marinas for everyone: Marina and port icons for guests and free accounts too; search ignores accents (swinoujscie finds Świnoujście) and finds every marina and named seamark. • SOS: 112 first — it works with any SIM card — and the country's direct sea-rescue number below it, checked against official sources; the Mayday call gives the position in degrees and minutes. • Time slider: A button keeps the camera on the boat; the buttons get their own row when the tool buttons are open, and round close buttons on the slider and info panels are easier to hit. • Account and PRO: Resend the activation e-mail; deleting an account warns about a renewing subscription. Wherever you meet a PRO feature, Upgrade to PRO and What does PRO give? open the benefits of that feature. • Fixes: A route calculated on the phone no longer cuts across land at a region's edge (Land's End); Point info on land says Land; the anchor alarm goes off at the radius you set, up to 150 m; routes saved to the cloud keep their weather and engine legs; tide markers stay after the end of the tide data; fewer false shallow-water warnings; the Auto map theme stays light in the polar day.
