Features & Capabilities

SEAiq Pilot is designed for river, channel, and harbor pilots. It supports official HO S-57/S-63 marine charts, as well as iENC and BSB/KAP formats, and can use external NMEA/AIS over WiFi. The app is free to download and includes a 7-day evaluation period; a permanent upgrade is available via in-app purchase. SEAiq Pilot and SEAiq Pilot VPP are the same app and differ only in how they are purchased.

Key features include a predicted vessel display with ROT, docking aids, a vessel catalog, support for WiFi-based AIS plugs and Portable Pilot Units, NMEA/AIS record and playback, waypoints/routes/ETA/XTD/speed limits, route meeting point, visual CPA, AIS "virtual boarding", and Mariners tools (VRM, EBL, Mariners Notes, Clearing Lines). Note that continued GPS in the background can reduce battery life.

What can I say, it works great and the enterprise subscription has all the configuration I need as a harbor pilot. Works great with my Navicom Dynamics PPU and even my older Pilotstech stuff.

Having used and tested most pilot navigation software on the market since the inclusion of ENCs, I can say that SEAiq has always worked without a glitch. During its roll out, the developer was able to adapt to the various demands of the pilots implementing it in their practice. Another feature that is hard to match is that this software will work with virtually any hardware configuration on the market today. Intuitive software.

SEAiq is excellent piloting software. It allows us at MPI incredible flexibility to connect to a variety of AIS and GPS equipment and to navigate on nearly any chart format in the world. Also allows import of DXF files so you can pilot on top of a CAD file, or use the Venture Farther plugin and navigate on top of google earth or MSST photos. This is great for testing proposed docks, berths and basins. Could not be happier with Mark and his support team. First class all the way!
