NAVLITE
Coastal marine navigation
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Navigate with confidence: OpenSeaMap nautical charts, Man Overboard mode, anchor alarm and offline maps. Designed for recreational boating.
NAVLITE is a clear, fast and beautiful coastal navigation app for boaters,
sailors and kayakers. Built for the sea, it puts your position, heading and
speed on a crisp marine chart so you always know where you are and where you
are going.
NAVIGATION
Follow your live GPS position with course over ground (COG) and speed over
ground (SOG). A heading vector shows where you are headed. Keep north up or
rotate the chart to your heading.
MARINE CHART
A high definition vector chart powered by MapLibre and OpenStreetMap data,
with the OpenSeaMap layer showing buoys, lights, beacons and harbours.
Switch to Sentinel 2 satellite imagery to read the coastline and anchorages
at a glance. Day and night modes protect your night vision.
PLAN AND RECORD
Create routes with waypoints and follow them leg by leg. Record your tracks,
drop points of interest, and measure distance and bearing between any two
points.
SAFETY
A man overboard mode marks a position with one tap and guides you back with
bearing, distance and elapsed time. An anchor watch alarm warns you if your
boat drifts beyond your chosen radius, even when your phone is locked.
OFFLINE
Download your sailing area, base chart and sea marks, and navigate with no
network at all. Your data stays on your device.
FREE AND PREMIUM
NAVLITE is free, supported by occasional ads on some tools. Go premium to
remove all ads. The chart, position sharing and man overboard mode are never
interrupted.
IMPORTANT
NAVLITE is a recreational aid to navigation. It does not replace official
nautical charts and publications. You remain solely responsible for your
navigation and your safety at sea.
