What's New in Underway Boating Safety
1.1
September 15, 2026
Underway 1.1 adds a logbook and makes it easier to keep your reports current. - Trip recording: Tap Trips to start recording, and Underway keeps a breadcrumb trail of where you went, even with the screen off. Your trips are private to you, backed up to your account, and listed with the date, distance, and duration. - Follow a previous trip: Open any past trip and tap Follow This Trip. Its track is drawn under your live trail so you can retrace a route that worked, like the safe way in and out of a harbor. - My reports: See every hazard you've reported and its status in one place, under Settings. When someone finds one of your reports helpful, they can send you a thanks. - Keep your reports current: Tapping "Still There" on your own report now extends it, so hazards you know are still out there stay on the map. - Simplified map controls: one labeled rail for Settings, Trips, Nearby, camera view, and recenter, plus a bigger Report Hazard button. - Alert distance update: Alerts now fire by default at 1/8 nautical mile. Change this anytime in Settings.
