SEAiq Pilot VPP for iOS

SEAiq Pilot VPP is an advanced navigation application tailored for river, channel, and harbor pilots. This software supports a variety of chart formats, including S-57, S-63, iENC, and BSB/KAP, enabling pilots to access essential navigational data. The application integrates with external NMEA/AIS through WiFi, providing real-time vessel tracking and information, which aids in making informed navigational decisions. Notably, it adheres to IHO S-52 standards, ensuring that pilots can rely on a familiar and standardized interface.

The application includes a suite of tools designed to enhance navigation safety and efficiency. Features such as predicted vessel display with Rate of Turn (ROT), docking aids, and a vessel catalog facilitate safe maneuvering in complex environments. Additional functionalities include route planning, ETA calculations, visual Closest Point of Approach (CPA), and various mariner tools. While the use of GPS in the background may impact battery life, the trade-off is justified given the application's critical role in navigation.
