Sailor Croatia vs ShoreMeter

Boating in Croatia? Sailor shows you in real time how far you are from the nearest detected coast, along with your speed and heading — plus local Adriatic weather, route planning and live navigation. Built for holidaymakers out on a charter boat or their own along the Croatian coast. KEEPING THE 300-METRE RULE IN VIEW In Croatia a motorboat must be at least 300 metres from the coast to go faster than 8 knots; closer in, planing is not allowed. Sailor shows the distance continuously, can highlight the 300-metre zone around your boat, and warns you when you are going too fast close to shore.

It contains no depth data — routes and navigation account for neither water depth nor your vessel's draft. Distance, coastline and hazard data are estimates and may be inaccurate, delayed or incomplete; not all hazards are shown. Keep a comfortable margin rather than testing the limit.
