Description

* What is Sea Drive?

Sea Drive is a marine and boating navigation application focused on charting, navigation, route building, track recording, tides, currents, and more! Our goal is to provide the best user experience for boaters on and off the water.
Sea Drive provides FREE US charts! We believe that everyone should have the tools on the water to feel safe and know how to find their way home (or pull up to a restaurant).


* Who is it for?

Sea Drive is for all of you who love the water! If you spend time on sailboats, fishing boats, bowriders, wakeboard boats, kayaks, or canoes this app will quickly become your go to co-captain


* What are the features?

**Offline Use
Sea Drive is meant to be used on the water and in the real world, that means cell service won't always be available. Charting, tides, currents, routing, tracks, GPS, compass, and more are all available without internet!

** Free Chart Data (US)
Currently only US charts are available (and will always remain free thanks to NOAA and your tax dollars). As Sea Drive improves we will be adding other chart regions for free or as low cost as possible.

** Tides and Currents
Tap a tides or currents icons on the chart to view offline predictions (for years into the future) at over 3000 locations.

** Build and Navigate Routes
Build routes with easy to add waypoints, drag waypoints, delete waypoints, and give waypoints custom names. Export and share your routes with other boaters. Activate a route to see bearing (magnetic or true) to waypoints, estimated time to waypoints, and ETA at destination among other metrics.

** Record Tracks
Review and playback previously recorded tracks.

** Create and Share Markers
Add notes and measure distances to markers.

** Basic Features
Location (GPS & Compass). Caliper tool. Display settings for custom chart options. Vessel details for hazard avoidance and route planning. Satellite and road map chart overlays.

** POI
We've integrated with marinas.com so we can show points interest directly on the chart for features like marinas, boat ramps, anchorage areas, inlets, locks, harbors and more.

** Weather
View weather forecasts for up to five days in the future including marine related weather like wind, gusts, swells, and wave information.

** Live Track Sharing
Create a live track share and send the link to friends. When imported, followers will see your current location and previous track directly on the Sea Drive app or website.

* We love feedback!

Sea Drive is built by boaters for boaters. This is just the start of our journey and we would like you all to be a part of it with us! Please provide any and all feedback!

What’s New

Version 15.0.0

SeaDrive now has a built in wind visualization layer. Tap the layers icon on the home screen and toggle the wind layer to see current and forecasted wind animated directly on top of the chart. The wind animation is is sourced from NOAA and offers 3 hour increments for up to 3 days in the future. This feature will improve your safety and comfort on the water. In addition, we fixed an issue where the "nearby" panel would appear unexpectedly while zooming in or out. We also fixed an issue switching between dark and light mode where the chart data layers may not appear correctly.

Great Weather and Tide Features

Originally I got Sea Drive for the charts and track recording when I am out exploring on my jet ski. Now, I use Sea Drive all the time for tide and current information. Just click on one of the arrow icons and I can check on my local tide cycle. Another great feature is the weather which I use to check the hourly forecast and wind.

Trusted boat navigation

When I found myself in the bay at night and in unfamiliar waters, I had one friend checking the water depth with a pole and another friend looking for a boat nav app. Luckily we found SeaDrive. We were able to navigate home and I've been a SeaDrive user for my boat navigation ever since.

Absolutely amazing!

I used to use the Garmin app long ago, and they decided to go the big map $$$ route so we couldn’t afford it anymore.

So I found this app and it is absolutely amazing!
It has everything I need and more. The I didn’t even see the weather feature until after I bought the subscription. But WOW!

Everything works perfectly! Thank you so much for this app and making it so useful and affordable 😊😊
