Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

This is by far the most complete waterway and boating chart of the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. With all fairway features, buoyage, traffic signs and *live* bridges and locks: opening times, telephone numbers and VHF radio channels. More than 272.000 objects on the map, conveniently arranged in map layers that you can switch on and off as desired. All water charts can be downloaded and used offline. The app really is LIVE and contains hundreds of current water levels, tidal curves, the weather at sea and in your area, water depths, data from KNRM stations and the water quality of countless Dutch bathing places. And the current notices to skippers (NtS): are there any obstructions on your route? You know it now. Always up to date. In total, the app contains the data of more than one hundred thousand nautical objects that are shown on the map around you. Thanks to GPS you can also read your speed and current coordinates. With the GPS tracker you can record and save your routes. The app is based on map material from the Dutch Land Registry and also contains the beautiful 1: 25,000 topographical maps of the Netherlands. Water Map Live is excellent for offline use, but the live information about bridges & locks, NtS, the current water levels and the current weather naturally uses an internet connection. Also for Android Auto The Android Auto app is an extension of Waterkaart Live that you can use if you have a suitable device. To keep the Android Auto app clear and above all fast, it displays the set of icons that are most important when cruising. It also displays your route planned in the app and the recommended sailing directions of shipping nodes. Conditions.
