Safety Services: Trace Apps
Mobile Apps for Marine Navigation.
Tablets and mobile phones can do most of the things that marine chartplotters can do.
1. Stand alone or integrated?
Both have benefits so you need to consider what is best for you
2. Where will device be located?
Easy access but best to be protected
3. Power source.
Consider battery life, do you need to run power to the device?
4. Protection against the elements.
Exposed devices are more likely to fail.
5. Do you need network coverage?
Will the device app work without data?
6. Backup plan.
Always keep charts and compass as a backup plan.
Keeping everyone safe at sea
Your boats, your crew, your lives.
