Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
NavPlay US The navigation tool dedicated to American boaters.
Through NavPlay US, boaters are able to download detailed NOAA vector maps and have full NMEA0183 and NMEA2000® compatibilities.
Designed for sail and motorboats from 24 to 55 feet, NavPlay US provides access to a wealth of WiFi-networked vessel information and control such as instruments readings, autopilot operation, alarms, DSC call and AIS details for collision avoidance, to name a few. A powerful and robust vessel control application, NavPlay gives you the tools needed to manage all aspect of your yachting experience and share details of your boating adventures with others right from your iPad.
With a fast refresh rate and crystal-clear detailed NOAA charts, NavPlay US allows boaters to plan routes and navigate on vector charts – provided by AquaMap – including free updates whenever NOAA updates charts.
AquaMap technology, based on Tiles, offers users the opportunity to create the chart coverage needed, drastically reducing the disk space used by the application, as well as the time to download upgrades.
