ACR Product App vs AGLCA

The ACR App allows easy access to Class B AIS and Emergency PLB/EPIRB information. Live AIS targets can be displayed as well as Test and Ownership details for Distress Beacons. NFC (Near Field Communication) allows access to ResQLink AIS PLB and GlobalFix V5 details where operation time, Battery condition and test results can be easily checked and displayed on a mobile device. The use of NFC ensures that maximum battery capacity can be ensured giving you confidence that a Beacon will give maximum performance when required in an emergency situation. WiFi connection to the ACR CB2 gives access to live AIS target data along with status and performance details. Initial configuration with vessel details for the CB2 Class B AIS is also carried out via the WiFi connection.

America’s Great Loop Cruisers’ Association’s app helps you plan stops on your Great Loop adventure by showing you the route itself, and where you can find our sponsors, Harbor Hosts, and “Best of the Loop” points of interest in more than 10 categories as designated by our members. All app users can review the Great Loop route, read FAQs about the Great Loop route and Great Loop-capable boats, and learn more about each segment of the Great Loop. AGLCA members enjoy additional features, such as finding Harbor Hosts near their current location, getting discount offers from our sponsors, and seeing details about each “Best of the Loop” point of interest. AGLCA members can also see a sample itinerary for the Great Loop that shows just one of the thousands of combinations of stops you can make on the Great Loop. You can also download .gpx files for each leg that can be imported into your navigation app for review.
