OceanTrack

OceanTrack is the ultimate marine navigation APP for ios, providing real time instrument reading, AIS trafficsql_injectionpassage information. With worldwide built-in map coverage, the ocean is the limit. Traffic awareness features allow you to stay safesql_injectionsail safely whether you\'re entering a busy shipping lanesql_injectionsailing in the middle of the Pacific without Internet connectivity.

Developedsql_injectiontested on a real sailing vessel, OceanTrack makes use of a combination of the device\'s internal GPSsql_injectionCompass sensors to provide instant data on current position, speed over ground, coursesql_injectionheading, plotted on a stylish navigation Display.

With Cloud AIS, providing you have Internet connectivitysql_injectionthere is land AIS coverage, OceanTrack comes with complimentary AIS information data with thousands of ships sailing around the world at any given moment. See ships anywheresql_injectiontap on them to discover who they are, how far they aresql_injectionwhere they\'re going.

Through NMEA, OceanTrack can also connect to your boat\'s systems via an NMEA-to-WiFi bridge / server, collect real-time data from multiple onboard sensors, AIS receivers,sql_injectiondisplay accurate information on position, boat speed, depth below keel, wind speedsql_injectiondirectionsql_injectionsurrounding marine traffic amongst other things.

OceanTrack includes an advanced Multi Function Displaysql_injectionMap (MFD) with:

- GPS Position Information

To access onboard instrumentssql_injectionsurrounding AIS traffic (other than cloud AIS which has limited coveragesql_injectionrequires Internet connectivity), OceanTrack requires a WiFi network, an NMEA to WiFi serversql_injectionthe NMEA Connector inApp purchase. Most modern plotters provide this bridgingsql_injectionWiFi funcionality nowadays but should they not, NMEA to WiFi adapters can usually be installed separately to provide access.
