Description

iPlotter Solent - the marine passage planner for iPad and iPhone with Solent markers and buoys database, other databases available

Sectors are added to a passage plan by selecting waypoints from a database, whereupon the true course and distance is calculated.
The magnetic variation is automatically determined and so the magnetic heading is derived.

At this point the tidal stream set and rate can be input to allow calculation of the course to steer, speed
over the ground and time for the sector.

'NAV' view displays a vectored display (track up) of the passage plan and local waypoints.
This view is easy to read in bright sunlight.

'MAP' view displays the passage plan and waypoints overlaid on a map (internet connection required)

Simulator mode runs the entire Passage Plan with simulated boat position and data.

GPS mode updates Map and Nav views with actual boat position and data. (device must have GPS capability).

iPlotter works anywhere in the world.
(Note: local waypoints must be added to the database, manually or by holding down a finger on the map, or by importing a .csv file).
