Ratings and Reviews
Helpful for boating Superior
Got this to check what the weather and waves are like on Lake Superior before I make the one hour boat pull down to her. Nice cause it has the buoys info if they are online telling you the real time wave height. Radar for weather built in as well to see if any storms role in, and even charts for depth and hazards. The info this provides for safe travels is well worth the $2.99.
Quick Marine Weather
A quick look at the marine weather for a point on the map. Use this to navigate up and down the west coast of Michigan. Not sure the wave by prediction is always accurate, but maybe it’s my imagination let the waves are 1 foot larger than they expect. The one complaint I have is that a weather alert pops up every time I launch the app or change the point. But I have yet to figure out how to see what the NWS alert is for.
Great AP for Great Lakes Sailors
This is very cool. Give a great summary relevant to boaters by touching your location in the screen. You can see wave height for the bouts near you. When I wasn’t sure what wave period was I emailed a question and Will wrote me back within a few minutes with a detailed article from surfology. Buy it, definitely a good AP, especially for the money.
