All of that has changed today when Apple approved the latest release.
We've been working with Navimatics for months on this release which
now allows markers to be edited and reviews and comments to be added,
all from your iPhone and iPad. The single license works on both an
iPhone and iPad at the same time - no need to purchase it twice. And
if you currently own Charts & Tides, it's a free update with all new
and current charts.
This is a huge step. Navimatics is the first developer to release
support for our update API's. Every developer with a navigation
product using ActiveCaptain will be doing the same thing over this
year. But Navimatics is the first, and it's marvelous.
Charts & Tides is the perfect guidebook even if you're traveling
outside of the supported nautical chart areas. It comes with a basemap
for North America which shows your location and overlays every
ActiveCaptain marker allowing you to explore anchorages, hazards, and
marina data. Of course, if you're in a region supported by NOAA
charts, you can navigate with the software too.
Every update you make, even on the iPhone, gets verified and
validated just as on the web site. So now when you're underway,
update that fuel price when you see it, check out hazards as you come
across them, and help us to continue building a crowd-sourced
community of cruising information.
You know that we're totally devoted to you. But now know that
Navimatics is too. This is a wonderful addition. Please make sure to
rate the Charts & Tides app in the App Store. We know there are
thousands of ActiveCaptain users but very few have entered a review.
It's important that you let others know this is a useful application.
Get them using Charts & Tides so they'll make updates and reviews too!
