Bonjour, merci pour votre patience. Ce problème est désormais résolu et vous pouvez créer un compte Waterkaarten sans aucun souci. Nous vous prions de nous excuser pour le désagrément. Si vous avez besoin d'assistance, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter à support@waterkaarten.app - Emma

Einfach die beste App für die Navigation über Tablet / Handy

Habe die App jetzt endlich für einen Törn in den Niederlanden auf anraten meines niederländischen Box-Nachbarn für einen Monat gekauft…und es hat sich gelohnt. Viele andere Apps ausprobiert da ich über ein iPad navigiere aber diese ist echt spitze. Klasse Routenplanung mit Zwischenstopps (alle aus der Karte auswählbar), allen Infos zu Brücken, Hebebrücken, Schleusen, usw mit Kontaktdaten und ein sehr gutes Verzeichnis der Liegeplätze und Yachthäfen. Es fehlen zwar ab und an mal Passantenanleger oder Marrekrite Liegeplätze aber das ist zu verschmerzen. Insgesamt eine geniale App mit Komfortfunktionen wie bei google maps…nur eben für Wasserstraßen in Europa. Ich werde nun bei jedem Törn das Monatsabo kaufen!

Vielen Dank für Ihre positive Bewertung! 🙌🌟 Danke, Emma vom Waterkaarten-App-Team

Unfortunately a failed app

Very disappointed in the app for navigating in the Mediterranean Sea. Route planning is a joke as it takes you out to something like 6 NM out from the coast line, only to take you back to destination at the coast, adding like double the time and distance. Apps usually follow the shortest and closest safe route to destination. Too bad.

Response from developer

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. We're sorry to hear that the routing in the Mediterranean added unexpected time to your trip! To help explain what happened: Waterkaarten is specifically tailored for inland and coastal boating. While we do offer some coastal routes, our main focus is on rivers, canals, and inland waters, and our routing along the French coast is actually still under active development. Because safety is our absolute priority, our system is designed to be incredibly cautious, keeping vessels within tightly verified corridors rather than plotting a direct line across open deep-sea waters. This is likely why it guided you 6 NM out to ensure you safely cleared potential hazards while we continue to expand our maps. Whereabouts in the Mediterranean were you trying to plot your trip? If you’re open to sharing your exact start and end points with us at support@waterkaarten.app, we’d love to have our team take a close look at that specific journey to see if we can safely tweak it. Thanks, Jess, the Waterkaarten App Team

Beste Navi App fürs Boot

Habe viele andere Apps probiert. Dies ist die Beste!

Kleiner Verbesserungsvorschlag: ein „Switch“ Button um Start und Ziel schnell zu tauschen wäre sehr hilfreich. Wie bei Google Maps …

Vielen Dank für das positive Feedback! Wenn du eine Route startest, fragt die App in welcher Richtung du die Rourte fahren willst. So brauchst du keinen Tausch Button. Vielen Dank, Jess vom Waterkaarten-App-Team
