## What is The Seafarer?

So, you work on a ship or are planning to go on a sea voyage soon?
Then this app is just the thing for your Apple Watch.

It contains various complications for your WatchFaces to display the distance to your (naturally configurable) home town and the daily distance traveled. The 'Day's run' is the distance covered between two following midday hours.

Please note the following before using the app:

- The calculation of the distances is adapted to slow-moving ships (cruise ships, container ships, etc.). The calculations do not work reliably for other means of transportation (car, plane)
- The Day's run can only be calculated if the corresponding complication is used in the WatchFace.
- Access to the user's position is required to determine the distances. The app requires authorization to determine the position during use.



Hints:

PLEASE SET YOUR HOME LOCATION (Seafarer App->Settings->Home) to ensure the distance calculation is correct.

You can reset longest and total traveled distances by long tapping the values in the app.
