7/12/2023 0 Comments Seaiq for androidI use Navionics+, which are vector charts which are updated daily. But, to this issue – and your other post after – iNavX DOES support both raster and vector. Wow – that’s cool that you can use personally made charts. We stopped upgrading at the last supporting version, so are probably missing other features that have been added since. SEAiq also used to use CM93 charts, but bowed to pressure from CMAP and took out that support. AFAIK, it is the only program on iPad to allow this. This is a very important feature for us – maybe the most important. Uses any and all chart formats, including charts I make from PDF files, Google Earth, and the like. What device are you using for the muxing?Ģ. I assumed there were other options – and see that there are here – but don’t know much about most of what they are listing apart from the Digital Yacht: iAIS. The only device listed in the app for integration is the Vesper Marine XB-8000 – which is listed by them at $799. For instance true and apparent wind and COG/heading can be displayed as vectors from ownship, as well as in instrument gauges/clusters. Complete NMEA integration over wifi (iNavX also) with flexible use of the data. My experience is different than yours, as I find SEAiq the most full-featured app (for us) available.ġ. We have been using SEAiq for years, and have only played with iNavX a bit. Okay – my responses (Colemj’s points are in larger gray letters, my responses are in red below each of them)… I don’t know if their server is slow or what – but it was excruciating. And for some reason it took FOREVER to download these even via WiFi. This was, if I recall, almost 300 charts at. The charts I got with the free trial of SEAiq USA were the NOAA ENC charts. But it was mostly the other implementations that seemed weak to me as I’ll explain below. The IHO official standards charts (S-52, 57, 63…) is definitely a plus. – SEAia Pilot, etc.), so there’s no question it has to have great capabilities. So first let me address the info I found on this (which shaped my opinion) and then what I saw (which made me draw the above conclusion).įirst, I know this app is used by professional mariners (e.g. (Note: I had to do this because SEAiq is only available for iOS 10 which the iPad2 doesn’t support – where iNavX supports both). My newer iPad is at the office so I downloaded the Free SEAiq app (which gives you a trial of the full USA version) on my iPhone8 and that might have been part of the issue in terms of display. I guess I should qualify my comments a bit. Yours is an opinion/viewpoint I definitely respect. And since Colemj is definitely NOT an idiot – and actually HAS an open mind and TONS of first-hand experience with this stuff – I listen… ![]() Colemj then explained why he used and liked it. ![]() I’d just said I didn’t think SEAiq was nearly as good as iNavX. Here is a post from Sailnet with my good friend, Colemj, where we are discussing the differences between iNavX and SEAiq.
