Description

eSeaChart is an easy to use marine navigation app. It uses the NOAA raster charts which has the same look as traditional paper charts and provide great coverage of the United States maritime territories.

***Fast and responsive***
eSeaChart has been built with speed and responsiveness in mind. This not only makes the app feel right, it's also essential when using the app on a moving craft. When at the helm it's essential to keep your eyes outside the craft at all times, and every second spent fighting a slow app is seconds lost keeping a proper lookout.

***Always up to date***
NOAA update many charts on a weekly basis. eSeaChart downloads the maps directly from NOAA without middle hands, ensuring that you always get the latest and most up to date chart. And you can update the chart by simply downloading it again, at any time.

*** Now with ActiveCaptain support ***

What's New in Version 1.2.1

* Fixes bug where only some or no ActiveCaptain markers where displayed on certain charts.
* Fixes display bug when entering ActiveCaptain credentials on the iPad in landscape mode.

Decent (3 stars)
I've used this app a few times now and it's been okay. When it works it works well and gives you quick accurate info on depths and position.
Unfortunately you can sail off the edge of the map. I couldn't get it to load the next map, this is something that seriously needs to be fixed.
The speed indicator is accurate but works for a while then goes away for a while. All in all I'd recommend it for the money but hope to see some imp

No support (1 star)
I bought this because it claims active captain support. I don't know because it won't allow me to enter my road runner email address as required for logging in to active captain. I reported this via email three times, and once via their web site. I get an auto reply, but that's the extent of their support.

doesn't work (2 stars)
Charts won't load onto screen. Not very intuitive. Ver few directions on how to use.
