Description

Boat Beacon is an internet AIS receiver and transmitter for your iPhone and iPad. It is the only AIS ship tracking app to provide Collision Warnings, share your boat’s position & use real-time AIS data.

Connected to the largest network of AIS shore receivers world-wide covering most major ports, harbours and popular coastal areas.

“An outstanding app, with great potential. Both interesting to use and very user friendly. This could be a life saver and especially of interest to small boat users. Everyone who goes on the water should have this on and use it!” ***** Sun Dream, App Store Review

Boat Beacon is specifically designed for boaters & provides continuous Bearing, Range & Closest Point of Approach (CPA) calculations and alarms in addition to standard AIS information even when in the background.

Boat Beacon does not require any external AIS transponder or receiver equipment.

Your position can be shared and seen on all our apps without using an MMSI number. To be seen on Global AIS systems like MarineTraffic you need an MMSI number. In the US you can obtain one by visiting http://www.boatus.com/mmsi or email us for a free internet MMSI number.

Please note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

NOT FOR NAVIGATION
Boat Beacon should only be used for basic navigation reference and should not be solely relied upon to determine precise locations, proximity, distance, or direction. You will not be visible to other ships on VHF only AIS systems.

Not all features work...

Skole-Ole on

I PAID AND ALL DOES NOT WORK WHEN FOLLOWING INSTRUCTION. THE NAME OF MY BOAT CANNOT BE ENTERED - ONLY THE FIRST LETTER...

Slet intet værd

Først køber du programmet, så skal du købe abbonenter for at få det til at tale sammen med fis Navionic, der efter skal du lige købe noget mere for art få live updates. Måske smart engang, men bestemt ikke pengene værd nu. Hold dig fra det, jeg har i hvert fald lige spildt 100 USD. På app og abbonoment. Daniel

Great app!

Fantastic and well working AIS app. This replaces exspensive AIS transponder. Great work!

Super!

Virker perfekt, også delen med AIS transmit. Ved aller første brug går dog op til 30 min før båden er synlig med korrekte data i andre systemer. Nu har jeg kun prøvet hjemmefra, så jeg ved derfor ikke om fart og kurs vises rigtigt

Ok men

Har ikke set endnu om den virker på vores men den bruger en masse strøm mvh. Jean
