Description
OpenSeaMap is a worldwide Opensource-project for creating a free nautical chart. Founded in 2009 the project gained a lot of attention lately adding more and more nautical information for free. Not even lights and other nautical infos are provided, but also more and more info layers like weather data, information about harbours and so on.

Ratings and Reviews
Street map with lighthouses
The iPhone app is good, fast lock on to location, downloads map segments as needed.
Unfortunately the map (both for this mobile app and the downloadable for PC), whilst showing navigation bouys and lights, does not show unlit reefs which could wreck a yacht - certainly for the Ionian Sea. This is because it is "crowd sourced" so as not to infringe copyrights on charts costing hundreds of €. So it looks just like Open Street Map with lighthouses!
That being said, the downloadable PC map is a great add-on for Garmin Basecamp to plot out my 72H tracks and the mobile app is a "nice to have" on board. It cannot safely be used for navigation as-is because of poor map support.
Message to developer: nice so far, please keep going!
Useful
This is free - and does not replace conventional chars and chartplotters. It gives buoyage but not depths.
I find it useful for planning when away from my boat and my charts. Afloat and where there is a phone signal, I find it helpful to have a quick visual position - I have a GPS, paper charts but no chart plotter.
Sure, it doesn’t replace charts. But I find it useful.
Utter crap!
This is not a chart. It cannot be used for any navigation. It would be better to spend .99p in a second hand book store and navigate with a world atlas. Save your money!!!!!!
