## Description

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.
