## Description

Float is a free, open-source Android app for canal boaters. Track every mooring along your journey, see exactly how long you&#39;ve been at your current spot, get notified before the 14-day CRT limit runs out, and keep an eye on waterway closures ahead.<br><br>Built with continuous cruisers in mind.<br><br>What you can do with Float<br><br>• See where you are and how long you&#39;ve been there. The 14-day tracker shows days remaining at a glance — green when you have time, amber as you approach the limit, red when it&#39;s time to move.<br><br>• Get reminders before time runs out. Push notifications arrive 4, 2, 1, and 0 days before the 14-day deadline so you can plan your move calmly instead of in a rush.<br><br>• Log every mooring along the way. Each stop captures the date, GPS coordinates, name, and any notes you want to add — your full journey, on a map.<br><br>• Set a home mooring you can always navigate back to.<br><br>• Review your travels. Total miles covered, number of stops, and date ranges — useful as evidence of continuous cruising for CRT compliance.<br><br>• Use the map. Every mooring you&#39;ve logged appears on Google Maps, with dark mode for late-night planning.<br><br>• See waterway closures ahead. The Notices tab pulls CRT stoppages, restrictions and advisories directly into the app — filter to what&#39;s near you, on a live map, updated hourly.<br><br>Privacy<br><br>• Your data is yours. Float stores your moorings in your own private account — no one else can see them.<br>• No ads. No tracking. No selling your location to anyone.<br>• Open source. Every line of code is public on GitHub.<br><br>Built by boaters, for boaters.
