## What is TALAY?

TALAY is a navigation companion and reference app built for recreational sailors — no internet required once you're at sea. No account, no ads, your data stays on your device.

OFFLINE MAP
• Areas you've viewed are automatically saved and available without internet
• Live position, speed (SOG) and course (COG)
• Distance measurement, area drawing, coordinate entry (degrees/minutes/seconds)
• Route planning with per-leg distance, bearing and total passage time
• Long-press anywhere on the map to see a point's coordinates, distance and
  bearing
• Seamarks (OpenSeaMap) and a depth points layer (GEBCO)

EMERGENCY
• One tap generates a ready-to-read Mayday/Pan-Pan VHF call text with your
  current coordinates
• Copy it straight to your radio or messaging app

MARITIME REFERENCE
• COLREG (Collision Regulations): 41 rules, a "who gives way" solver,
  quick-reference diagrams
• IALA-A buoyage and lights guide
• 165-term maritime dictionary — every card shows the term and its meaning in
  Turkish, English and Spanish at once
• A 20-question maritime quiz with a ranked result
• VHF channel guide
• Required equipment: life-saving and safety gear drawn from SOLAS and IMO
  carriage requirements
• Calculators: distance, speed, depth, ETA

LOGBOOK & WEATHER

• Wind, wave height, sea temperature, hourly wind forecast
• Sunrise and sunset times

DAY AND NIGHT
Night mode keeps your dark adaptation intact on the bridge, day mode stays
