Aqua Map is a marine navigation app that has been providing up-to-date nautical charts and advanced planning tools for sailors since 2013. The launch of AquaMap’s new Route Planner, a multifunctional route planning tool that offers navigators enhanced control and flexibility, is meant to expand sailors’ resources to help ensure safety and confidence.
By combining Automatic and Manual planning modes, Route Planner allows seamless switching between them within the same route. This hybrid routing capability enables users to customize and combine manual and automatic segments, or fully manual or fully automatic routes, providing precise control.
Key features include:
Automatic and Manual Planning Modes: Seamless switch between manual and automatic planning modes from within the same route.
Existing Tracks: Reference tracks and routes that are visible on your charts as a guide in the creation of new routes.
Hazard Detection: Navigational hazards are automatically identified in both planning modes, remaining visible during active navigation and within the Route Explorer.
Local Data Integration: Incorporate U.S. Coast Guard Data and additional layers such as U.S. Army Corps of Engineers surveys to enhance your route calculation.
Extra Data Overlay: Display overlays from marine forecasts and satellite imagery, tides and currents, community POIs from Active Captain and Waterway Guide.
Quick Search: Easily find and add specific locations, custom markers, or points of interest to your waypoint list.
“We’re looking forward to introducing this update to route planning that gives our users more control, and integrates both Automatic and Manual route planning modes to enhance their planning experience in Aqua Map,” says Enrico Valle, CEO & Co-Founder at GEC srl, developers of Aqua Map. “Route Planner helps navigators make smart decisions with all the essential data in one place to enjoy safer journeys.”
Route Planner is now available to all Aqua Map users. New users can explore any chart subscription and our set of advanced tools with a free 14-day trial (availability may vary by location).
