About Coast Guard SafeTrx

Official app of the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard (AVCG) and Marine Rescue Queensland (MRQ) – The ‘Coast Guard SafeTrx’ app allows you to register your vessel and plan your journey on your smartphone.

Registering vessel and trip information could not be any easier. Follow the registration process to start using the app. Finalise the registration in the website with the same login codes. Once your registration details have been saved, you can make your choice from the menu in the app. You may either plan and file your trip (Sail plan mode) or just activate the tracking function of the app (Track only mode).

For filing a planned trip choose your vessel, determine the end destination, calculate the ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival), enter the number of persons on board and the activity type. Then, using the built-in maps, select a starting point, an optional waypoint and the end destination. Once this is completed simply press the ‘start’ button when you are ready to start your trip.

Pressing ‘start’ in Sail plan mode or just pressing the start button in Track only mode will register the journey details with the SafeTrx server and will activate position reporting in the app. At regular intervals the app will send a position report to the server and your emergency contacts will be automatically alerted after the journey exceeds the ETA in Sail Plan mode.

At any stage during the trip you can end your trip, revise the ETA, number of people on board or the destination.

Use the Coast Guard SafeTrx app to:
- Create your own personalised checklist to be included as part of your Sail Plan before departing.
- Activate a distress call or call for assistance while your trip is in progress.
- Quickly start your trip using the ‘Track only’ mode to begin tracking at a touch of a button.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can considerably decrease battery life.

"safe" usually implies a level of reliability. This does not have this! Every time I try to log a passage it crashes. Looks like it is back to the old vhf for me

This is a must have app if you are going out on a boat. For your safety I highly recomend it. You might have forgoten to tell someone where you are going or plans may change for one reason or another. But with this app all you need to do is set you boating itinary the momment you are about to step foot on the boat or if Network permiťing while you are on the boat. I use it everytime I go out. P.S. The coat Guard doesn't track your fishing spots

Dump the Fees please, or allow free credits. Needs a quick and easy setup for kayakers, canoeists, SUPs, etc We dont always have planned definite routes, but still value that service knows we are on the water.
