Yacht Compass

This is a GPS based steering compass for yachts and other marine and boating applications.
It is optimised for 5 inch phones and larger tablets.


When moving, this Steering Compass provides Course, Speed, Latitude and Longitude as well as a one touch Man Overboard (MOB) function. The MOB function gives Latitude and Longitude of the MOB position, steering queues and distance back to MOB position. Should you accidently close the app or turn off the device, the MOB position has been saved and can be recovered to find the MOB.


Speed & Distance Formats:
• Kilometres & Metres
• Statute Miles & Feet
• Nautical Miles & Feet
Latitude & Longitude Formats:
• Degrees & Decimals of Degrees
• Degrees, Minutes & Decimals of Minutes
• Degrees, Minutes, Seconds & Decimals of Seconds


The four Colour Schemes are shown in the screen shots. One of these is a night setting that is really only readable in the dark so as to preserve your night vision.

*** New Features ***

Steering compass now features the ability to create, go to, edit and delete Waypoints.
When a go to waypoint is active the compass displays an arrow pointing to the waypoint, the Latitude and Longitude of the waypoint as well as distance and VMG to the waypoint.

There is also tactical wind function to display wind shifts and in conjunction with waypoints the ability to tack on the layline.
