Boat Beacon is an internet AIS receiver and transmitter for your iPhone and iPad. It is the only AIS ship tracking app to provide Collision Warnings, share your boat’s position & use real-time AIS data. Connected to the largest network of AIS shore receivers world-wide covering most major ports, harbours and popular coastal areas. “An outstanding app, with great potential. Both interesting to use and very user friendly. This could be a life saver and especially of interest to small boat users. Everyone who goes on the water should have this on and use it!” ***** Sun Dream, App Store Review Boat Beacon is designed for boaters & provides continuous Bearing, Range & Closest Point of Approach (CPA) calculations and alarms in addition to standard AIS information even when in the background. Boat Beacon does not require any external AIS transponder or receiver equipment. Key Features ------------ Over-the-horizon collision avoidance (30 miles radius) using continuous CPA calculations - highlights boats that are on a potential collision course and alerts you with an alarm. Continually transmits and receives position information via the internet and calculates and alarms CPA even when the app is in the background. Shares your position with Internet AIS Systems & apps & other Boat Beacon users in real time. Real time ship map view with North up & Heading up modes so you can look in the direction of the ships on the map to locate them. Nav display showing own boat's speed, course, heading and position. SART Alarm Man Overboard tracking, Anchor watch & Theft alarms (IAP). Apple Watch App included Siri voice commands Export tracks Boat-to-Boat & Group Messaging. Local AIS & GPS via Wifi. Boat Beacon InApp Add-ons:- LiveView - Augmented Reality view with ships, compass & horizon overlaid. Works with FLIROne IR cameras as well to see ships & people in the dark & fog (IAP) "AIS Sharing" to other apps like Navionics & iNavX (IAP subscription) US, UK and IE Marine raster charts (IAP). MOB and Anchor Watch (IAP). Let Friends and Family see where you are and where you're headed to with our free Boat Watch app or on web-based AIS systems like MarineTraffic which have free web viewers available. Arm all the crews in a race with Boat Beacon and have real time updates on the race positions on the water and back in the club house. Keep a watch and in touch with other boats in your flotilla when sailing in a group. Boat Beacon requires internet access to work. Most popular coastal areas have cellular data access extending 12 or more miles out to sea. Subscriptions The "AIS Sharing " subscription is monthly ($5.99) or yearly ($16.49), and will automatically renew at the end of the subscription period unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. Payment will be charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase, and will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period. Subscriptions may be managed by the iTunes account holder and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to Account Settings after purchase. 
No cancellation of the current subscription is allowed during active subscription period. Terms of Use: http://seanav.net/termsofuse.php Privacy Policy: http://seanav.net/privacy.php Support: help@pocketmariner.com Your position can be shared and seen on all our apps without using an MMSI number. To be seen on Global AIS systems like MarineTraffic you need an MMSI number. In the US you can obtain one by visiting http://www.boatus.com/mmsi or email us for a free internet MMSI number. Please note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. NOT FOR NAVIGATION Boat Beacon should only be used for basic navigation reference and should not be solely relied upon to determine precise locations, proximity, distance, or direction. You will not be visible to other ships on VHF only AIS systems.}

Lately I’ve tried typing in a ship’s name and all that comes up are place names? No option to change to ship’s names. I’ve been here since it was in beta and paid a good fee to have the ability to track ships in the company that I worked for. Works great for the most part but why can’t I enter ship names anymore?

Really can’t be relied upon to work which isn’t much use when you’re at Sea and you need it

Best thing for those onshore following tour progress and finding your sailing partners if you lose sight.

should have a option to change icons of moored vsls or with 0speed, for busy areas. when zoom icons of ships overlap and becomes unusable. It s a good app but misses some usefull and simple features. the ais sharing feature has delay with boating app so for me personally it is a no go.

Especially like the anchor alarm. I like that it now feeds AIS info into my Navionics Boating App

I have had this app for over a year and it was good . We recently purchased the share with app and was working fine 2 weeks ago now the app will not display any thing and when connecting goes back to boat beacon Home Screen. Has anyone else noticed this over the last few weeks

Got the app. Set up my boat info while sitting in an anchorage with two boats with AIS on. We do have AIS on our boat but we don’t see the names of boats with newer AIS boxes. Neither boat have this app but they do have AIS. And neither boat showed up. Have yet to see ANY boats show up on the app. And, yes, I have good wifi. Also, I upgraded (obviously too soon) to “live view” on my iPad but the app on my iPhone is asking me to pay for it again. I’ve contacted the company. I’ll update the review when/if I hear from them.

Først køber du programmet, så skal du købe abbonenter for at få det til at tale sammen med fis Navionic, der efter skal du lige købe noget mere for art få live updates. Måske smart engang, men bestemt ikke pengene værd nu. Hold dig fra det, jeg har i hvert fald lige spildt 100 USD. På app og abbonoment. Daniel
