No longer provides tracking to MarineTraffic

As very long term users of MarineTraffic (MT) we were really pleased to find the OnCourse app to show our position and track when out-of-range of AIS shore stations. However, a few weeks ago it stopped showing that. The Destination entered on OnCourse is still transferred to MT but position/course is not (even though OnCourse shows hundreds of positions have been sent with “Success”). We are going over to a rival app: noforeignland.

Great app and service

As a cruising sailor with family and friends around the world, this is is a fantastic app that allows me to automatically share our location, heading and boat speed straight to MarineTraffic from my iPhone.

There is a bug currently that defaults our status to “underway using engine” which no doubt is an easy fix.

Thanks Kpler for providing this app!
