## Description

SeaPilotApp is a practical marine companion app for Android. It displays AIS / NMEA 0183 data in real time and provides an onboard‑friendly interface for situational awareness, manoeuvring and pilotage support.<br>Built for real use, SeaPilotApp focuses on fast readability, simple connection workflows, and useful tools for close‑quarters operations.<br><br>What you can do in the current build:<br>Connect to AIS / NMEA sources<br>Wi‑Fi (TCP)<br>Wi‑Fi (UDP)<br>Bluetooth<br>Easy setup with IP/Port (Wi‑Fi) and quick connect / disconnect.<br><br>Live NMEA/AIS stream &amp; log:<br>View raw incoming NMEA/AIS sentences in real time<br>Built‑in AIS Data Log for monitoring and testing<br>Useful for validating data streams from AIS receivers, GNSS devices, bridge systems and log exports.<br><br>Sea Map (osmdroid):<br>Online layers (internet required; depends on provider availability)<br>OpenSeaMap overlays (seamarks / marine overlays) when available<br>Map orientation modes (North Up / Course Up / Free rotation)<br><br>Offline maps (no internet required):<br>Import and use offline map files stored on your device:<br>MBTiles (.mbtiles) — raster tile packages (PNG/JPEG)<br>Mapsforge (.map) — vector offline maps<br>Offline maps are used locally on the device and must be downloaded by the user separately.<br><br>Route Planning (GPX / RTZ):<br>Load voyage plans, edit waypoint list, save/unload routes<br>XTE corridors (cross‑track error boundaries) for route monitoring<br><br>Dynamic vessel data screens:<br>Dedicated screens for key real‑time values such as SOG, COG, HDG, ROT (as available from your AIS/NMEA source).<br><br>Docking / manoeuvring helper screen:<br>A VRM‑style docking screen designed to be readable during close‑quarters operations.<br>Optional display of nearby vessels/targets (when AIS targets are available)<br><br>GPS screen:<br>A separate screen showing phone GPS data (position, SOG/COG, local time), independent from AIS input (when available).<br><br>Test Mode (no hardware required):<br>Replay a text file with NMEA/AIS sentences and simulate a live stream.<br><br>Alarms (safety support):<br>Collision Risk (CPA/TCPA)<br>Anchor Drag (Anchor Watch)<br>GPS Loss<br>Route Deviation<br>Arrival to Waypoint<br><br>Privacy / Important notes:<br>SeaPilotApp works locally: data is not sent to any server.<br>SeaPilotApp is a supporting tool and is not a certified navigation system (not ECDIS).
