New version 2.4.1 β†’ 2.5

Plan the whole trip, not just this moment. ROUTE WEATHER Set your departure time and boat speed, and every point on your route shows the forecast for the time you'll actually be there β€” not the forecast for now. Scroll the timeline or tap a route bubble and the map, the time and the highlighted position all move together. A short guide walks you through it the first time. OFFICIAL STATIONS FOR THE WHOLE PASSAGE Tide and current predictions along a route now come from the nearest CHS or NOAA station to each point, instead of one station for the entire trip β€” so a run through a narrows agrees with that narrows' own station. Every reading names its station and chart datum, and the timeline marks where one station hands over to the next. EVERY CATEGORY ON ONE TIMELINE The All tab lines up temperature, rain, wind, gusts, waves, tide and current against the same hours, so you can read the whole picture in one pass. Tap the time chip to jump straight back to now. WIND AND WAVES ON THE CHART Redrawn wind particles and a new wave overlay, so you can see the pattern across the water rather than one value at a time. KNOW THE MOMENT YOU CROSS THE LINE In sailing mode and route simulation, SeaVectors now sounds an alert as your position enters a DFO closure or restricted area, and keeps reminding you while you're inside. The FISHING tile flashes red and moves up the panel so you can see which rule you've met. Turn the sound off any time in the alert details. Plus a weather panel that runs edge to edge, a steadier full-screen layout, and fixes throughout.

About

Official ENC charts. Real conditions. Your boat's own instruments. One app, in your hand. SeaVectors renders the same class of official electronic navigational charts used on commercial ship bridges β€” full NOAA coverage for the United States, plus high-definition vector charts for the Canada West Coast β€” then adds live weather, official tide and current predictions, AIS collision awareness, and a direct link to your boat's NMEA network. Everything you see is built on official ENC data. This isn't a street map with water on it. Try everything free for 30 days. PROFESSIONAL ENC CHARTS Charts are built from the S-57 data standard and drawn with S-52 symbology, the same presentation used on ECDIS. Colours, symbols, day/night palettes and a boat-specific safety contour all follow the professional standard β€” and you can tap any object to read its official attributes. Choose nautical, night, satellite or relief styles, and switch individual layers on or off: depth areas, contours, soundings, hazards, lights, cables, restricted areas and labels. CONNECT TO YOUR BOAT β€” NMEA 0183 AND 2000 Join your boat's network over Wi-Fi and receive live instrument data: speed, depth, wind, heading, position, RPM, fuel and more. Multiple engines, tanks, batteries and other device instances are handled properly. Build your own dashboard from around two dozen widgets β€” drag, resize, and see the source behind every reading. AIS COLLISION AWARENESS See nearby vessels on the chart with closest point of approach (CPA) and time to CPA (TCPA). Configurable safety thresholds, colour-coded risk levels, flashing warnings and escalating alarms help you spot a developing situation early. TIDES AND CURRENTS FROM CHS AND NOAA Official Canadian Hydrographic Service and NOAA stations appear directly on the chart. Read current speed and direction, flood and ebb, slack water, turning times, tide height, rising or falling trend, and the next highs and lows β€” exactly what matters around harbours, channels, narrows and tidal passages. MARINE WEATHER, ON THE CHART Animated overlays for precipitation, temperature, wind, gusts, waves, tides and currents, with a full-screen forecast that lines up every marine category on one timeline. Pick the model β€” automatic, NOAA NWS, or Environment Canada where available. 14-DAY OFFLINE FORECASTS Download 14 days of rain, wind, wave, tide and current forecasts for the area you're heading to before you leave. Losing signal offshore no longer costs you the conditions. ROUTES, TRACKS, MARKERS AND ALERTS Plan multi-leg routes with distance, ETA and fuel estimates, then preview them with built-in simulation. Measure with a multi-leg ruler and convert it to a route in one tap. Record and replay your tracks, and save markers with labels, notes, photos or video. Get alerted for charted Restricted Areas and supported DFO fishing closures β€” tap through to read the actual rule. WORKS OFFLINE Charts cache automatically as you browse, so coverage you've already looked at stays available with no connection. Storage Management shows exactly what's cached and lets you clear it. ENGLISH AND SIMPLIFIED CHINESE Weather, tides, currents, station information and offline forecast tools are available in both languages. SeaVectors aids navigation. It does not replace official paper charts, a proper lookout, or prudent seamanship. Always cross-check. SUBSCRIPTION SeaVectors includes a 30-day free trial. A subscription is required afterward for continued full access. Payment is charged to your Apple ID and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
