Transport Canada required safety equipment and navigation light requirements are also included. Run through the useful checklists with your crew as well as review suggestions for recommended equipment.After planning your trip you will need fuel. The cruising section walks you through safe fueling procedures and even includes a fluid volume conversion tool which is particularly useful for visiting boaters.

Dont forget to refer to the right of way rules and lateral and cardinal buoy information.A where am I feature allows you to email your location and picture to anyone you wish and shows the position on a map.

The App will also show the entered location in google maps.Its nice to know the help section has your back.
