User Reviews for SEAiq
Bait and Switch
Seaiq promoted its ability to handle the unencrypted s-57 vector charts like cm93. Many bought it for this purpose. Without notice or option to users the company discontinued this feature. All of a sudden for me hundreds of charts did not work including many I had created using this format. What's worse is this happened in the middle of a sailing trip when I was so foolish as to update the app. I would stay away from a company willing to do this to its customers. When will they make the next decision making hundreds of dollars worth of charts useless. There are plenty of apps now with similar capabilities so the feature set is no longer as unique as it once was.
This app is great
I downloaded this app to use in the tender on iPad and iPhone and when not within range of our furuno tz touch.The 20 bucks to upgrade is well worth the price considering you can use it with already purchased or cm93 charts or with free us downloadable charts. If you want a chart plotter for a tenth the cost of a marine version I suggest this app, an iPad and a lifeproof cover. i honestly would be happy sailing around the world with one(and a few paper charts for spare;) I will mention that with the entire world downloaded the system runs a bit slower but if you only have the area you are using installed it seems to run faster. Also after installing it on your iPad and when you go to use it on your iPhone you just have to click purchase again and it will update although you don't get charged twice as long as your apple ID is the same.Happy sailing and thanks seaiq for putting chart plotters within reach of the common people. I wonder how long it is before everyone is using iPad as there main chart plotters?
Used to be great. No longer for cruisers.
Early versions let you use your CM 93 charts, like Open CPN does for your laptop. Like Open CPN you can also view your Google earth .kap files. Of course the latter are extremely accurate, even in parts of the world where your regular charts can be off by miles - and often are. Now the CM93 charts are no longer supported on the newer versions. Unfortunately there is no option of loading an older version. I like the old version so much that I have kept my old iPad which still has the old version. In an attempt to use the newer version on my new iPad, I purchased some reasonably priced charts for the app and found them like crude sketches. Useless waste of money.So while still useful for viewing .kap files, there are far easier, cheaper apps for that. So unless you are a professional mariner, and can afford extremely expensive charts, this app has become almost useless for cruisers.
Miserable chart downloader
Downloads, at least from the NOAA site, are excruciatingly slow in comparison to direct downloads from the site. Plus the app needs to be on screen with the iPad awake for downloads to complete. Any switching away can cause one or more chart downloads to fail, and you, rather than the app have to retry the update to pick up the missed charts. Lazy software design yields a poor user experience. The premium features would be worth the money but presumably the quality of the free version matches that of the paid version so no thanks.
Confusing variations of same Ap?
I heard this was a good iPad platform to view and see your vessel's position on downloaded google maps/charts? There are multiple variations to download, and it is not clear about the differences between them? It always asks you to upgrade for more money, but does not explain what you are getting. Worse, it doesn't just upgrade your version, you download yet another Ap. So if you already installed charts on one version, you then need to reinstall the same charts again... This Ap needs a lot of work to make it user friendly.
Great product for navigation.
Great navigation app. Uses NOAA Raster and ENC charts. All the extras like tides and are integrated nicely.
Great app, .....
SEAiq is the best chartplotter available for the iPad for use by recreational cruisers in areas that low cost digital charts are available. In other areas the cost of chartworld and primar charts are excessive for recreational boats, when other chartplotters can use charts as good as the chartworld and primar charts at 10% of the cost, and 1% of the aggravation.If SEAiq can fix this inequity, I would give it 10 stars, not just five.
Well thought out
This the best nav software by far. It is ready apparent that it is coded by people who use it, and really know software. Navionics, TZiBoat, iNavX, this one is far better and its free no nonsense goodness! It does have few obtuse bits like downloading charts the first time. The chart updater is great. Thanks for the good coding!
Works with CM93 A-OK
Nice. Now I can use the same charts on my iDevice as I can on OpenCpn, cm93.I installed the entire world on a iPod Touch 4. Rendering can be a bit slow/choppy when starting out, but seems to cache some information as it gets a bit better when viewing areas already viewed previously.Would be nice to get GPS data from a TCP/IP source instead of only built in GPS (since mine does not have one). Will also conserve battery life if the internal GPS can be disabled.I could see this product be a great companion to OpenCpn as new features are added to the product. If the developer could provide a good integration/complement to OpenCpn I think there would be lots of interest.Add some pages to repeat NMEA data and you could easily have a repeater for your Nav system as well (assuming they offer TCP/IP support for nmea data).Well done so far, and looking forward to updates.
Only “real” navigation app out there
SEAiq is what I consider to be the only real navigation app around for iOS. 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. I’ve added danger bearings, marked out anchorage areas, even plotted a running fix with it. (That last just involved creative use of a handful of EBLs.)The AIS functionality is also incredibly useful; the course vectors and rate of turn indicators make it very easy to visualize crossing situations. Also useful is the ability to attach a VRM or EBL to AIS targets.If you’re in the US you have free future access to all the official NOAA charts, and the tiling is handled reasonably well. I’ve also loaded New Zealand ENC charts as well as purchased others from Chartworld.My workflow involves planning and plotting on the laptop, then transferring the files to phone and iPad for reference underway. I see the same notes on every device. 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).
Description
SEAiq is a full-featured marine navigation app. It is the only marine navigation app that allows you to load your own charts in a variety of standard formats, including: S-57, S-63, iENC, BSB, and KAP. It also includes the ability to automatically download charts from NOAA for the USA and download of raster charts based on satellite imagery.
