WX Radar
Live weather and marine context on the map — a glance before you cast off, not a replacement for a plotter.
| NEXRAD loop | About 30 minutes of history in Weather mode |
|---|---|
| Weather vs USN | Weather animates radar. USN emphasizes charts and freezes the loop for reading |
| Marine Conditions | Named modal panel — waves control on the radar toolbar. Local current air, sky, wind, seas/swell, moon, NOAA tide station, high/low tides, tide curve, and short forecast. Tap waves again or the dimmed scrim to dismiss. Same panel as Captain’s Log new entries. |
| Range ring | 32 NM default around map center |
| USN (U.S.) | NOAA ENC depth soundings & marine aids |
| Map center | GPS or coastal / Great Lakes region presets |
Workflow: Marine Conditions on WX Radar · Inventory & maps story
Skipper — Vessel & boat inventory
Your onboard “where is it?” system. Photograph the spare impeller, stash it in a nested stow, and find it again without opening every locker.
| Vessel registry | Owner, registration, MMSI, HIN, dinghy, trailer, thru-hulls, photos — Skipper → Vessel |
|---|---|
| Nested locations | Unlimited depth — cockpit → lazarette → bin |
| Location photos | Face of the place on the list, like a daymark |
| Items | Quantity, unit, notes, photos, values for insurance |
| Loans & borrows | Who has what, when, optional photo |
| Expenses | Categorized spend; CSV export |
| Claims / defects | Incident trails and exportable PDFs |
Inventory PDF exports
From Reports → Full Inventory (Premium for file export):
Detailed A–Z inventory with photos, stows, values, serials.
Large photo cards in a 2×2 layout on US Letter. Print & cut.
Medium cards in a 2×4 grid — good for bulk locker walks.
Compact 4×4 sheet — maximum items per page with photo + stow.
Captain’s Log
Operational history of the boat — guests, plan, conditions, hours, and tracks.
| Journal | Dated entries with guests, plan, notes, photos; dictation on iOS |
|---|---|
| Marine Conditions | Named panel on new entry (same as WX Radar modal) — weather, seas, moon, NOAA tides & short forecast |
| Engine hours | Main & dinghy stopwatch, baseline gauge, fuel log |
| Position track | GPS while the app is open; PDF / GPX / KML export |
| Checklists | Safety and operational lists with step photos |
| Pre-departure | Guided flow under Utilities |
Maintenance
Yard-ready documentation for your boat — and Customer Boat work for service techs.
- Problem → Identification → Testing with photo timeline and dictation
- Customer Boat + Yard Handoff PDF for other vessels
- Schedules with local notification reminders

Marine Surveys
Guided condition / insurance survey workflow with in-water and out-of-water modes.

| Close-out | Signed PDF for client / insurer |
Boat network & AIS (experimental)
- NMEA TCP — optional boat position / heading / depth on radar
- Boat video — ONVIF / RTSP on vessel Wi‑Fi
- AIS catalogue — manual MMSI filing (not a full AIS receiver)
Privacy & legal
Data stays on your device. No ads. No sale of personal inventory as a growth metric. Weather and chart tiles use public NOAA / Mesonet services (U.S. and greater North America coverage).
