i-Boating:HD Gps Marine Charts 154.0.0

This app provides access to high-definition marine charts for various locations including the USA, Canada, UK/Ireland, Germany, Netherlands/Holland, and Europe Rivers (Danube, Drava, Rhein, etc). The app offers coverage of NOAA marine vector charts, freshwater lake maps, USACE inland river maps (with HD/1ft/3ft bathymetry where available), and charts derived from UKHO & CHS data. It is the first marine GPS app to include route assistance with voice prompts for marine navigation. Users can create new boating routes or import existing GPX/KML routes. The app supports the Nautical Charts course up orientation and also includes tide and currents prediction.

Features:
- Beautiful and detailed hardware/GPU accelerated vector charts (text stays upright on rotation)
- Long press to query the details of marine objects (buoys, lights, obstructions, etc)
- Customizable depth (ft/fathom/meter) and distance units (km/mi/NM)
- Customizable shallow depth
- Record tracks and auto-follow with real-time track overlay and predicted path vector
- Voice prompts for marine navigation (requires GPS)
- 1ft / 3ft depth contour maps for anglers for select lake maps
- Supports GPX/KML for boating route editing/import
- Tide and currents prediction
- Seamless chart quilting of marine charts
- Enter or import waypoints

Tide & Currents:
Tide and currents information is available for the US, Canada, UK, Germany, and New Zealand. It includes high/low tides, tidal current predictions, and active current stations.

Sharing:
Users can share tracks, routes, and markers on Facebook and Twitter. They can also export tracks, routes, and markers as compressed GPX files.

Please note: Running the GPS in the background can significantly decrease battery life.
