iCompass (English)

iCompass is an Android based App specifically designed for fishermen to navigate to positions of their nets or any other fishing points. However it can be also used for trekking in forest areas or wherever roads are not available.

This app mainly saves fuel and time. Very important for fishermen.

Although this app is specifically designed for Indian users however with better understanding of features, it can be used by others as well.

There are many well known navigation products available in the market. However they are not user friendly or at least not easy for computer illiterate people to operate. That's how I come up with this App which is very easy to use. Thus no need of buying costly navigational devices. Rather by using Android phone's features such as Touch Screen, Orientation sensors etc, it is more powerful, easy to use and more accurate. Also with updates, you will get better features and thus no need to buy separate navigation product for new features.

Key features:
• Compass to show North and direction to Destination.
• Compass also shows tilt measurements for boat/vessel.
• Indian coastal locations are already saved.
• User can add his own locations
• We have stored approximate coastal international borders for Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri-Lanka and Maldives. So App warns about their borders.
• Google map which auto-rotates as per North direction. Also displays destination point, your saved locations and above international borders.
• You can store Home location or Port location where you normally keep your boat/vessel. Or this Home location can be your Hotel if used for trekking. So if Home location is saved, you are always aware how far you are from Home.
• At any time, you can get nearest 5 coastal locations of India and your nearest saved locations.
• Sun rise / set and Moon rise /set information are always available for current and Home location. Thus information about low and high tides can be found out and accordingly you can plan when to return home based on high tide timings.
• Estimated Time based on speed
• Device gives warning message once it starts closing towards destination by 1 KM or 500 meters or nearby.
• Links to other useful apps for fishermen.

This is in English language. However it is also available in other Indian languages such as Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati.
