It automatically downloads all charts (both vector and raster) from NOAA and the US Army Corps of Engineers for regions of USA you select. It combines a complete set of piloting features with unparalleled easy-of-use.

What could be improved is the overall app speed, and being able to use purchased charts across devices (I know that last is more a problem of the chart suppliers). SEAiq Free is a full-featured marine navigation app. SEAiq Pilot is the only multi-platform piloting solution, with support for all major platforms and all pilot plugs and PPU devices. My workflow involves planning and plotting on the laptop, then transferring the files to phone and iPad for reference underway. By Sakhalin SEAiq Open is a full-featured marine navigation app. I’ve also loaded New Zealand ENC charts as well as purchased others from Chartworld. If you’re in the US you have free future access to all the official NOAA charts, and the tiling is handled reasonably well. Also useful is the ability to attach a VRM or EBL to AIS targets. The AIS functionality is also incredibly useful the course vectors and rate of turn indicators make it very easy to visualize crossing situations. (That last just involved creative use of a handful of EBLs.) I’ve added danger bearings, marked out anchorage areas, even plotted a running fix with it. The chart tool functionality (multiple EBLs, VRMs, and other markup functions) mean you can, if needed, perform similar operations that you might be used to on paper charts. Add some pages to repeat NMEA data and you. SEAiq is what I consider to be the only real navigation app around for iOS. If the developer could provide a good integration/complement to OpenCpn I think there would be lots of interest.
