Unersetzbar beim Hausboot-Urlaub

Wir haben die Waterkaarten-App jetzt schon mehrfach bei unseren Hausboot-Urlauben in Deutschland und Belgien. Sie ist ihr Geld wert! Viele nützliche Infos zu Schleusen, Hebebrücken und Marinas inkl. aktuellen Telefonnummern. Wichtigste Funktion ist der Routenplaner um die Fahrtstrecke und Dauer zu planen. Vielen Dank an das Entwicklerteam, macht bitte ständig weiter so.

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!

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.
