SEAiq Pilot

SEAiq Pilot is a specialized mobile application developed for river, channel, and harbor pilots. Offering comprehensive support for charts in various formats such as S-57, S-63, iENC, and BSB/KAP, as well as the ability to utilize external NMEA/AIS over WiFi, this app is specifically designed to meet the needs of pilots operating in these environments.

For individuals who are not pilots, we recommend opting for SEAiq or SEAiq USA instead.

While SEAiq Pilot can be downloaded for free, all of its features are accessible during a 7-day evaluation period. After this evaluation period, basic chart viewing will be the only supported functionality unless an in-app purchase is made to permanently upgrade the app.

It's important to note that SEAiq Pilot and SEAiq Pilot VPP are essentially the same app and differ only in terms of their purchasing methods.

Some of the standout features unique to SEAiq Pilot include:

• Support for official HO S-57/S-63 marine charts
• Adherence to IHO S-52 chart display standards
• Predicted vessel display with ROT (Rate of Turn)
• Docking aids that demonstrate distance/velocity to wharf fenders
• Vessel catalog
• Compatibility with WiFi-based AIS plugs and Portable Pilot Units
• NMEA/AIS record and playback capabilities
• Waypoints, routes, ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival), XTD (Cross-Track Distance), and speed limits
• Route Meeting Point functionality
• Visual Closest Point of Approach display
• AIS "virtual boarding" feature
• Mariners tools, including VRM (Variable Range Marker), EBL (Electronic Bearing Line), Mariners Notes, and Clearing Lines

It is worth mentioning that continued use of GPS in the background can significantly impact the device's battery life.
