OpenSeaMap vs WinGPS Marine

OpenSeaMap is a worldwide Opensource-project for creating a free nautical chart. Founded in 2009 the project gained a lot of attention lately adding more and more nautical information for free. Not even lights and other nautical infos are provided, but also more and more info layers like weather data, information about harbours and so on. As an add on to the OpenStreetMap this provides all missing info for nautical activities. OpenSeaMap is part of OpenStreetMap and uses the same database. FEATURES: - Free worldwide sea chart (incl. HD chart graphics) - Search for geolocations worldwide - Chartplotting with continuous tracking - Waypoints can easily be created, edited, deleted & exported - Mark locations in the chart - Zoom chart optically to fit your preferred reading size - Enter coordinates directly to be displayed in the chart - Offline caching of up to 1 million map tiles - Cleanup of chart cache data at any time To ensure future development and support of the OpenSeaMap app we encourage you to buy the In-App-Product "PRO". This will help keeping new updates and features coming. DISCLAIMER: OpenSeaMap is part of the OpenStreetMap and uses the same database. As an experienced navigator you should NEVER rely your descisions on one source of information alone. Please keep in mind that the OpenSeaMap can not replace official sea charts on bord of your boat. Please use the OpenSeaMap app only in conjunction with official sea charts and conforming to national and international regulations. Please recognize that no depth information is provided by this product. IMPORTANT: The continued use of the GPS can significantly decrease the battery level.

Ideal for navigation onboard of your sailing yacht, motorship, canoe or longboat: - Always know where you are, how fast you go and what your course is using a GPS receiver (internal or Bluetooth). - Download the chart of your sailing area and check the current depths, buoys and other nautical information. - Place a navigation waypoint and sail to your destination using the course line, Course to Go and Distance to Go. - Waterway network: View the information of the bridges, locks and waterways. - View your sailed track on the chart. - Show the distance circles around your GPS position. At the first start-up of the app, you will be asked to log in with your account. The free default online charts from Apple are available in the app for orientation. The DKW-charts of 2018 and newer, which are connected to your account, can be downloaded directly in this app and be used for navigation.
