Version 1.45.0 A fresh start, right from setup. This release begins with a complete redesign of how you get started: every screen from the initial setup choice through Hub and app setup now has a cleaner look that matches the rest of the app, plus a short intro video on first launch. Beyond that, the Plotter and logbook both got meaningful upgrades, plus a handful of smaller fixes. NEW: Redesigned Setup We have redesigned the entire setup experience, from the very first path chooser screen through Hub setup and app setup, with a cleaner look that matches the rest of the app. A short intro video, available in English and German, now plays on first launch, walking you through the app's key features before you get started. Also new: - A live distance-to-anchor widget on the Plotter shows how far you are from your anchor whenever the anchor alarm is active, without leaving the plotter view. - Every alarm trigger and clear now shows up as its own entry in your logbook, giving you a complete record of what happened and when. - When your Hub is connected to the cloud, the app now opens straight to your last trip's data instead of asking you to pick a time range. - The About screen now shows the Smartboatia ID of the boat's registered owner, so you can tell which account a Hub belongs to. - A new switch lets you show data from NMEA2000 sensors that do not broadcast their own device details. - Target speed, VMG, and the polar table now only appear in the Plotter picker when your Hub is cloud-synced to a boat with a saved polar diagram. Bug fixes: - Fixed: logbook entries could occasionally fail to load when your Hub connection was unstable. - Fixed: the app did not always reconnect automatically to your Hub after a brief local connection drop. - Fixed: the Hub's serial number sometimes stayed empty on the About screen. - Fixed: logging out sometimes showed a misleading no-internet message. - Fixed: the location name on the home screen did not always update from the boat's GPS position. - Fixed: the Target Speed screen showed a misleading Hub not synchronized message for Hubs that were never meant to sync with the cloud. Fair winds!

Version 1.44.0 This release is about seeing more, more clearly. The Plotter gains two performance widgets, Alarms get their own dedicated screen, and connection and sync status get an overhaul across the app. The Plotter: Two new widgets join your instrument panel. Target VMG shows how efficiently you're sailing toward your polar's optimum, and VMG to Waypoint shows your closing speed toward your next mark. The instrument panel now defaults to a clean one-column layout, and on tablets in landscape mode the map sits beside your monitoring widgets instead of below them. Also new: - Alarms now have their own dedicated screen, reachable directly from the main menu: see every alarm you've set in one place and switch any of them on or off without digging through other screens. The screen also remembers which sections you had expanded or collapsed. - The old Dashboard screen for Hub connections has been removed to simplify the app - A toast now lets you know when your Hub is running a version older than 1.43 Reliability: - Connections between the app and your Hub are noticeably more stable, with fewer dropouts and faster recovery - A new sync status popup on the Hub connection indicator shows exactly how current your data is - Cloud sync timestamps are now labeled "Live/Full Sensor Data Synced Until" for clarity - The cloud connection icon now uses color to show live versus stale data, with a detail popup - A new connection type indicator shows at a glance whether you're connected locally or remotely Bug fixes: - Fixed: Boat Monitoring showed a permanent placeholder instead of local data for a Hub never registered to the cloud - Fixed: Boat Monitoring showed an empty placeholder for several seconds when connecting to a freshly set up Hub - Fixed: the autopilot's steering mode display got stuck on heading control for wind and no-drift modes - Fixed: action icons in the app bar used inconsistent spacing across different screens - Fixed: Remote Monitoring sometimes kept showing stale data if the screen stayed open for a while - Fixed: connecting to a boat could briefly resolve to the wrong local Hub during the connection transition - Fixed: the wind direction chart could show incorrect or flattened values due to a caching issue - Fixed: cloud sensor data lost during a brief disconnect wasn't always replayed once reconnected, leaving cards blank - Fixed: the sync status for a local-only Hub connection could lag behind by several seconds after connecting Fair winds!

Version 1.43.0 A cleanup release for the Plotter, top to bottom. We know a navigation screen only earns your trust once every rough edge is gone. This update goes through the Plotter fix by fix: crashes, stutters, and small annoyances that made it less pleasant to use underway. Also new: - Menu items in the navigation drawer have been reordered so the things you use most are easier to find - Each GPS source is now checked for accuracy on its own, so one flaky source no longer throws off the readings from the others Bug fixes: - Fixed: the Plotter map sometimes didn't show up when offline, even with charts already downloaded - Fixed: the Monitoring menu item sometimes didn't appear after a restart - Fixed: offline chart downloads could silently fail with no error message - Fixed: opening the trim widget in the Plotter side panel could cause a crash - Fixed: some logbook entry updates didn't always come through - Fixed: a false "synchronize your Hub" message appeared even when already synced - Fixed: the Plotter loaded slowly and stuttered right after connecting - Fixed: sensor calibration could fail intermittently under certain conditions - Fixed: an invalid GPS reading could occasionally overwrite a good position - Fixed: passed waypoints weren't always cleared from the route - Fixed: a mislabeled distance widget in the Plotter now shows correctly - Fixed: the Plotter side panel didn't always remember your widget layout width - Fixed: GPS drift while anchored or moored could be mistaken for real movement Fair winds!

Version 1.42.0 AIS aids to navigation are here. Smartboatia already showed you other vessels via AIS. Now it shows you the marks too, and pulls from every available AIS source to build the clearest picture yet. AIS Aids to Navigation Buoys, beacons, and other fixed marks now appear directly on the sea map with type-specific IALA symbols at their real GPS position. Tap any mark for details. Multiple AIS data sources have also been combined into a single, unified feed, so you see fewer gaps and duplicates in the traffic around you. Also new: - Bearing to Next Waypoint (BTW) widget: the true compass bearing to your next waypoint, independent of the course you are actually making - Rudder Angle widget: a rotating rudder icon plus the live angle in degrees, sourced directly from your Hub - Screens with a time range picker now default to showing data since your last change between anchored and underway - New sailors can explore Boat Buddies before creating an account, with Laura and Arne shown as demo buddies - The app now automatically switches between Hub, Cloud, and Dashboard connections based on what is reachable - The Remote Monitoring Dashboard also uses your connected Hub as a live data source when you are on board, for lower latency and live values even without internet Bug fixes: - Fixed: the sea map sometimes only appeared after disconnecting and reconnecting to a boat - Fixed: a stuck GPS message could freeze position updates until the Hub restarted - Fixed: departure and arrival notifications were sometimes sent twice for the same event - Fixed: boats with an incomplete MMSI could disappear entirely from the My Boats list - Fixed: the app could crash on a freshly set up profile before boat data had fully synced - Fixed: the compass rose was missing from the wind rose widget, which also affected the true wind arrow direction\n- Fixed: the Hub could occasionally fail to establish a secure connection to the cloud Fair winds!

The Plotter keeps growing. Version 1.41.0 focuses on the chart view: more instruments, deeper zoom, and tighter integration with the tools you use while underway. The Plotter: - Zoom in further. The maximum zoom level has been increased so you can see your position, anchor radius, and nearby objects in much more detail. - Six new instrument widgets in the carousel: Target Speed (Polar), Leeway, Speed Through Water (STW), SOG/GWS, Upwind Speed, and Polar Performance. Tap Polar Performance to jump straight to your polar table. - Tap any AIS vessel on the chart and its details appear in the sidebar, keeping the map fully visible. - Tap the Log Status instrument to jump directly to the Logbook page without leaving the chart. - The Logbook is now a full page in the Plotter carousel. Scroll to it from the chart view to review your trip log. - Portrait mode on tablets: the instrument sidecar now adds new rows as you drag it down, making the most of the extra screen space. Comfort & Logbook: - #sailorsgram has a cleaner entry flow. It now lives in the navigation drawer, and guides you through picking a time range first, then your post type (photo post or route animation). - The Hub connection indicator now appears at the top of every screen, so you always know your connection state. - Trim Impact Charts now display your full data range without gaps. Reliability: - Hub: the on-board database has been optimized for the Hub's hardware, reducing memory use and unexpected service restarts. - Hub: the NMEA 2000 device list now stays accurate in real time as instruments appear or disappear. Bug fixes: - Fixed: a crash that occurred when heading data arrived without a true heading value. - Fixed: a crash when navigating to the Home screen while actively connected to the Hub. - Fixed: dragging the anchor to a new position sometimes moved the map instead of the anchor. - Fixed: the Hub's NMEA 2000 service did not recover after an internal crash, silently stopping all NMEA data until the Hub was manually restarted. Fair winds!

Version 1.40.0 The Plotter keeps growing. Offline polar data, a draggable anchor, and smarter GPS tracking join the expanded side panel in a release built for use underway. The Plotter: Swipe through three dedicated side panel pages: a Radial Gauge for live instrument readings, your boat's Polar diagram, and a Trim Advice view. The carousel loops infinitely and indicator dots stay permanently visible. Nine widgets are available: Distance to Next and Last Waypoint, ETA and estimated travel time to both, Course Over Ground to the next waypoint, current time, and a Logbook Status field with direct tap-through to your logbook. The Trim Advice page includes a quick Sailing Mode button. Polar data loads from the Hub over WiFi with no sign-in required. Also new: - Smarter ruler: passed waypoints no longer draw a misleading line back to your position - Logbook entries now show an inline text preview at a larger text size - Data field picker shows consistent labels matching the widgets - 10 m option added to the anchor alarm radius picker - Drag your anchor point on the chart to reposition the alarm zone - Improved GPS outlier detection for cleaner tracks and more accurate distances - Export the raw NMEA 2000 data stream from your Hub for support troubleshooting Bug fixes: - Fixed: ruler dock point was rendering above the boat icon instead of behind it Fair winds!

Version 1.39.0 — The Plotter Smartboatia was never meant to be a navigation system. But when you combine live boat data, sea charts, and a real-time map in one place, the next step writes itself. NEW: The Plotter A dedicated navigation screen with live instrument tiles right next to the chart. Opens automatically when you connect to your Hub. Includes a distance measuring tool: draw a multi-segment ruler, dock it to your GPS position, and instantly see distance, bearing, and ETA per leg based on your current speed. Also new: - Animated GPS route replay — relive any trip and share it as a #sailorsgram post - Standalone note entries in your logbook (whale sightings, groundings, anything worth remembering) - Your own boats and Boat Buddy boats are now clearly separated on the Connect screen - Logbook entries with photos load faster Bug fixes: - Map not showing in some situations after a previous update: fixed - Offline sea chart downloads stalling at 0% with no error: fixed - Water depth missing from live sensor readings: fixed - Trim advice now stops when the boat is no longer sailing - Inline logbook edits made on the Hub now save correctly - SOG, COG and other abbreviations display consistently in Remote Monitoring Fair winds!

Improved alarm controls for Hub (batter-, anchor- & no GPS alarm)

* Extended App-Only navigation features * Bug fixes

The app now supports rudimentary navigation including sea maps without a Smartboatia Hub

* Sensor data from the Hub (GPS, Battery Voltage, Air Pressure, Heel) can be written back on the NMEA 2000 bus. The user can select which of the sensor data shall be exposed. * The user can prioritize sensor sources for data capturing by Smartboatia e.g. boat contains two GPS sources, the user can now select the primary and secondary source. The primary source will be used unless it becomes unavailable. In that case Smartboatia automatically switches to the secondary source.
