IMPORTANT: For non-pilots, we recommend SEAiq and SEAiq USA. It includes support for charts in the S-57, S-63, iENC and BSB/KAP formats and use of external NMEA/AIS over WiFi. EBL (Electronic Bearing Line) mobile line to know course and distance between two points or between the boat and a point on the chart.SEAiq Pilot is designed especially for use by river, channel, and harbor pilots.

Having, SEAiq is for me a happy discovery, a big congratulations to the designer. The first thing to do, before starting with such an application, is to visit the site ChartWorld and explore the extensive catalog of ENC and prices. In addition, to cover a large trip, le nombre de « cellules » à acheter pour disposer des cartes générales aux cartes les plus détaillées peut représenter un budget conséquent. However, we must be aware that the ENC does not cover in detail all parts of the world, and comparisons made in several areas of the globe with Navionics show a lack of details as you move away from the main routes and areas frequented by merchant shipping ( ⁴).
No wonder an advanced version is offered to professional pilots. It is such an application we will find on the navigation room of merchant ships. For those sailing in the Pacific Ocean, the application allows the passage of the International Date Line, that does not iNavX with Navionics. SummaryĪs you can see from this quick lookup SEAiq is a rather reserved application for leasure boaters, professional or experienced, who wish to have a formal charting can be updated.

I sincerely thank him ! As it is never too late to do, some exchanges with the developer helped me install this application on my iPad with all its options. A few days before going on a long trip from Toulon to Noumea, My friend Christophe Mahé introduced me to this application that I had gone unnoticed.
