Turn off layers to de-clutter the display and only show what is important at the time. Tides, moon and sun times and weather are also all available at your fingertips.

SeaNav’s unique AR view mode allows you to view buoys, lights, ships, waypoints and track overlaid on your iPhone or iPad live camera view. With "AR LockOn" you can select a target on the chart and then be guided to it in the AR camera view.

SeaNav lets you measure distances and bearings and record waypoints on routes. When at sea, the app’s Sailing HUD shows your position, Course over ground (COG), Speed over ground (SOG), Vector Made Good (VMG), Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA), Distance and bearing to next Waypoint. Waypoint reached alerts, auto-routing to the next waypoint and collision alerts.

Requires iPhone or iPad. GPS only required for real time route navigation. Optional Real time AIS, Tides and Weather information require an active internet connection.

iPhone devices and iPads with a cellular modem already have a built-in GPS, even if they do not have an active service plan.

If you have a WiFi-only iPad you will need an external GPS receiver or GPS feed to enable navigation.

Please note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

NOT FOR NAVIGATION

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful. SeaNav should only be used for basic navigation reference and should not be solely relied upon to determine precise locations, proximity, distance, or direction.

User Reviews

The integration with my em-trak AIS receiver/transmitter is the killer feature. That lets me do heavy-duty nav/piloting in the iOS/WiFi universe rather than in some manufacturer's proprietary OS universe and the nichey, expensive, specialized marine networking universe.

SeaNav has always worked well for me but recently after updating my subscription it crashed on open for about 2 days on my iPhone 16. A reboot and reinstall did not help. However after this time the app works again. Upgrading review to 4 star but suggest not changing subscription during a stormy day out sailing.

Product doesn’t allow you to try before it charges you and then refuses refund. Beware
