Waypoint vs SeaBase

Waypoint is an offline GPS compass for outdoor navigation. Drop a pin anywhere — your car, your campsite, a trailhead, a fishing spot — and a big arrow points the way back with live distance. No maps to download, no cell service, no account. It works in airplane mode, deep in the backcountry, and in the garage where your maps app gives up. WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL The arrow runs on your phone's GPS and magnetometer — local sensors, local math. No data connection, no map tiles, nothing phoning home. It also shows how accurate your GPS fix is — when you save a pin and while you navigate — so you never have to guess whether your position is trustworthy. UNLIMITED PINS, FREE There is no limit and no paywall on capacity. Save every fishing hole, trailhead and campsite you want, for free. Name them, choose from dozens of icons, attach a photo, and see each one's elevation. Drop a pin where you stand in one tap, or mark a spot anywhere on the map. RECORD A TRAIL, THEN WALK IT BACK Start recording and Waypoint lays down breadcrumbs along your route. When you turn around, follow your own track back on the map — the way you actually came, not a straight line through a ravine. Made for unmarked trails, fresh snow, dense forest, and anywhere the way in was easier than the way out. RALLY — FIND YOUR PEOPLE Start a Rally, share the code, and everyone sees each other live on one map, with a roster showing how far away each person is. Point the same arrow at a person instead of a pin. Built for festivals, theme parks and campgrounds. Rallies are temporary — they expire on their own, and nothing is shared before or after. Starting a Rally needs Pro; joining one is always free, so only one person in the group needs it. THE COMPASS, UPGRADED Waypoint Pro puts every saved pin around the dial at its true bearing — turn toward any one and navigate. Add bearing lock to hold a heading, a live heading strip above the arrow, high-detail markings, and the position of the sun and moon so you never miss golden hour. WEATHER WHERE YOU'RE ACTUALLY STANDING Pro also brings weather for your coordinates, not the nearest city: current conditions with an hour-by-hour timeline, UV index and risk band, humidity and dew point, wind speed, direction and gusts, and sunrise and sunset with exactly how much daylight you have left. MAKE IT YOURS Fifteen themes, including Blizzard, Ember, Nature, Sunny and a carbon-fibre finish. Night Mode goes red-on-black to protect your dark adaptation, and AMOLED mode uses true black to save battery. Plus alternate app icons and haptic profiles. WHAT PEOPLE USE IT FOR • Finding the car in a huge lot, a garage, or a trailhead • Marking a campsite, a tree stand, a mushroom patch • Getting back to the boat or the anchorage • Finding one tent in a sea of identical tents FREE — NO ACCOUNT, NO CATCH • Unlimited pins, with photos and elevation • Full arrow navigation, completely offline • Trail recording and retracing • Join any Rally — no Pro needed • Map view and mark-on-map • Game Mode — guess a pin's bearing and get scored • Imperial or metric units • No ads.

No ads, no third-party trackers. Available in 12 languages.

Less apps. More sailing. Seabase is the offline-first sailing companion. Anchor alarm, offline nautical charts, GPS navigation, tides, and a logbook — every tool you need on the water, all working without a signal. No accounts. No ads. PAY ONCE Seabase is a paid app — a single one-time purchase, and it's yours forever. No subscription, nothing auto-renews, no in-app purchases, no ads. Every offline chart region offered is included with unlimited downloads. You pay once and get the whole app. ANCHOR ALARM Drop a virtual anchor and Seabase watches your position with phase-based drift detection — scope warnings, drift alerts, and critical alarms with sound and vibration. A sliding-window filter rides out GPS noise instead of waking you for it. Arm it after the fact with "Already Anchored" mode, pause and resume on the fly, and control the whole watch from your wrist. Replay any past anchor session on a scrubbable radar track. Built to wake you before your boat does. OFFLINE CHARTS Download nautical chart regions to your phone with OpenSeaMap seamarks built in. A global base layer keeps you covered when you sail past your downloaded zone. NOAA depth overlays for US waters when online. GPS NAVIGATION Long-press the chart to plan a route — built-in land detection flags legs that cross land. Live navigation gives you bearing, distance, ETA, cross-track error, and remaining distance with heading-up auto-rotation. Save routes and replay them. A dedicated GPS Navigator adds a radar HUD plus point-to-point go-to. APPLE WATCH Native watchOS companion — speed, heading, anchor radar, and a navigation arrow on your wrist. Arm, disarm, pause, and resume the anchor alarm from the watch. Start and stop trip recording remotely. Mirrors your iPhone's dark/light theme.
