## What is Navyo?

Navyo helps sailors plan passages with clear marine weather context, route comparison, and a map-first navigation experience.

Compare wind, waves, currents, motor baselines, and sailing options before departure. Review routes by leg, inspect forecast conditions, and use Cruise mode when you want a simple chartplotter-style view without a destination.

Navyo is decision-support software for recreational boating and passage planning. Always use official charts, notices to mariners, required navigation equipment, and skipper judgment.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.17 — 2026-08-10

- Route planning now stays focused on one next step. Drafting, progress,
  comparison, weather, recovery, and navigation replace one another instead of
  stacking competing cards or actions.
- Route review now opens with the differences that matter: duration, distance,
  safety, and weather. Detailed legs, timeline playback, sharing, and advanced
  controls remain available when you ask for them.
- iPad route planning now uses a chart-first side inspector, while iPhone keeps
  one compact bottom workflow with the trip action always reachable.
- Sailing setup now has one clear departure action with quick choices and the
  native date/time picker. Confirming a changed departure replaces the prior
  sailing calculation using the same reviewed route corridor.
- Forecast choices now show only models with complete wind, wave, and current
  information for the selected route and departure. Unsupported choices no
  longer appear or hold route progress open.
- Route forecasts now use one versioned environment snapshot across iPhone,
  iPad, and the web planner. Every route requires complete wind and wave
  coverage, while current coverage is clearly identified when available.
- Wind alternatives now compare independent forecast providers against the
  same wave and current conditions instead of mixing different sea states.
- Long and complex routes now follow connected navigable water without fixed
  regional shortcuts or hidden route sections.
- Routes may travel around peninsulas, island chains, and managed canals when
  the safe path cannot keep moving directly toward the finish.
- Selected beach and shoreline places can resolve to nearby navigable water,
  while positions tapped directly on the chart remain exactly where placed.
- Chart depth and contour overlays now stay steady while you pan or change
  scale, including brief moments when the chart is still drawing.
- Route results now include enough bounded detail in automatic diagnostics to
  reproduce an implausible detour without storing the full route line.
- Navyo now uses the same faster routing method on iPhone, iPad, and the web
  planner while retaining the same shoreline, endpoint, weather, and waypoint
  safety checks.
- Heading Up in Cruise mode now keeps position, scale, and direction together
  during live movement and manual zoom. North Up keeps the chart fixed while
  the boat symbol shows the same corrected direction.
- Route planning and weather review are calmer and easier to scan. Important
  cautions now appear once, where you can act on them, instead of repeating
  across the chart and route cards.
- Route choices use compact comparisons, while the selected route keeps the
  full safety and weather explanation.
- Route calculations are easier to follow. Navyo now shows progress one
  waypoint leg at a time instead of listing every calculation step.
- The active route button includes an estimated progress fill, so long routes
  always show that work is moving forward and remain easy to stop.
- Motor and Sailing options now start together. A slow option no longer
  holds back another route that is ready to use.
- Sailing choices now avoid short, artificial loops when switching between
  motor assist and sail, keeping the route moving toward your destination.

  motor assist and sail, keeping the route moving toward your destination.

### 1.14 — 2026-08-06

- Route planning and weather review are calmer and easier to scan. Important
  cautions now appear once, where you can act on them, instead of repeating
  across the chart and route cards.

### 1.13 — 2026-08-02

- Route planning, Cruise, Search, Weather, and offline guidance now use shorter,
  more natural wording focused on the next useful action.
- Expanded Cruise introduces GPS, COG, SOG, HDG, TWS, and AWS in a compact
  one-time `Boat terms` guide while keeping the underway chart uncluttered.
- Worldwide marine places now use purpose-drawn Navyo vector markers for
  marinas, harbours, anchorages, moorings, fuel, provisions, beaches, airports,
  and other useful destinations, with names attached to their markers.
- A fresh chart opens near your current position when location is available,
  while returning from another app refreshes distance information without moving
  a chart you are browsing.
- Global marine-place Search now distinguishes locations with locality and
  proximity, including both Marina Frapa locations.
- Place cards now present the useful routing action for the current route state,
  with reliable Start, Destination, and waypoint placement from POIs or chart taps.
- Cruise Heading Up now follows the steadier GPS course while moving, uses a
  filtered compass while slow or stopped, and keeps the boat bow aligned with
  the same stabilized chart bearing.
- Wind particles and high-resolution bathymetry stay aligned with the chart while
  panning and zooming, with near-global wind, gust, and wave coverage.
- Fresh launches show clear, non-blocking data preparation progress while charts,
  Search, route safety, and forecasts become ready.

### 1.12 — 2026-07-31

- Cruise Heading Up now follows your actual GPS course while underway, so turning the iPhone no longer rotates the chart away from the boat's path.
- The Cruise course vector now begins cleanly at the boat's bow while preserving its true projected endpoint.
- If you stop route preparation, Navyo now keeps your route points and shows clear choices to restart the options or clear the draft.
- Search and chart place actions now use one clear routing flow, with Route here, Set as start, Set as destination, and Add waypoint shown only when useful.
- Route-point taps now remain ready after a shoreline check or temporary planning problem, so the next valid chart tap can complete the route.
