Anchor Watch Remote uses the GPS on your device to monitor your boat's position. If the boat moves outside of set limits, the program will alert you immediately. And easily set the exact position of your anchor before starting. And with remote, you can monitor your boat from anywhere in the world. Leave your iPad on your boat, and go ashore with confidence. Or even check your boats position while 1000's of miles away. And you can forward the remote link to anyone you want, so you entire team can keep an eye on the boat too. There are no more sleepless nights when you worry about whether your boat is dragging or not. Keep the phone next to where you are sleeping and a quick glance will assure you that all is ok. If the boat drags out of the predefined area (no limit on radius), it will alert you with a loud tone on your device. So run the app, leave your device on the boat (iPad or iPhone), and you can monitor its position anywhere in the world from a webpage.
