And it’s not just the weather - marinas have contact information so you can call or email the harbor master to book a berth or to ask about amenities. Special treat for sailors and boaters in the US is the option to display nautical charts. It shows water depths, dangers, anchorages, and other features. The provided nautical charts aren’t for navigation purposes. Using the app is easy. You can change units, wind speed display (animation or wind barbs), and weather data displayed on the map.
