OceanPulse: Marine Navigation

OceanPulse turns your iPhone and iPad into a full marine chartplotter. Navigate with real NOAA nautical charts, plan routes, record your voyages, and check tides, currents, and marine weather — even miles offshore with no cell signal.

Whether you sail, fish, cruise, or paddle, OceanPulse puts everything you need on the water in one beautifully simple app.

REAL NAUTICAL CHARTS • Detailed NOAA vector charts with buoys, beacons, lights, wrecks, landmarks, and depth soundings • Tap anything on the chart for a plain-English description of every nautical object under your finger • Depth shading plus a safety-depth layer that hatches water shallower than your chosen depth in red • Bridge clearance labels, light sectors, and depths in feet, meters, or fathoms • Light, dark, and auto themes with road or satellite land overlays

OFFLINE CHARTS • Download any region — frame it on the chart and see the exact size before you commit • Downloads continue in the background and resume automatically if interrupted • Update badges tell you when newer charts are available • Only-offline mode shows exactly where you have coverage — no surprises offshore

ROUTE PLANNING & NAVIGATION • Tap to drop waypoints, drag to fine-tune — legs redraw live and everything autosaves • Total distance, per-leg distance and bearing, ETA, and estimated fuel burn from your boat's cruise speed • Navigate a route with live distance, bearing, and ETA to the next waypoint — reverse direction anytime

TIDES & CURRENTS • Worldwide tide and current predictions computed on your device — no internet required • Interactive tide graphs with highs, lows, slack water, and sun and moon times • Station icons on the chart show rising or falling conditions at a glance, up to 100 years ahead

MARINE WEATHER • Wind speed, direction, and gusts, swell height, period, and direction, temperature, clouds, and precipitation • Detailed 3-hourly forecast grid plus a week-ahead outlook for any point you tap on the chart

TRACK RECORDING • Record your voyage with live speed, distance, and time — pause and resume anytime • Live Activity keeps your stats on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Review speed graphs and stats for every saved track, then share as a photo or GPX file

MARINAS & ANCHORAGES • Marina and anchorage details powered by Waterway Guides: fuel, dockside depth, VHF channel, holding, and wind protection • The Nearby view surfaces marinas, anchorages, and tide stations within 10 nautical miles of your boat

WAYPOINTS, GPX & SYNC • Drop custom markers with names, notes, colors, and icons — or enter exact coordinates in DD, DDM, or DMS • Import and export GPX waypoints, routes, and tracks to and from any other app or chartplotter • iCloud sync keeps your waypoints, routes, tracks, and boat profile up to date on all your devices

BUILT FOR THE HELM • GPS follow and course-up modes with a projected course line, plus live speed and heading readouts • Caliper tool measures distance and bearing between any two points on the chart • One search for places, marinas, anchorages, tide stations, and your own waypoints, routes, and tracks • Snap a photo of your boat and OceanPulse estimates its specs to set up your vessel profile in seconds

Perfect for sailing, fishing, powerboating, coastal cruising, kayaking, and offshore passages — from your home harbor to waters you've never explored.
