Greetings Product Hunt community! π
Our team is proud to present to you, savvy navvy. The all-in-one app for getting out on the water π€ β΅οΈ.
Boating navigation technology is some years behind that on land and most people still use systems similar to those seen in cars ten to fifteen years ago, where expensive equipment needs to be frequently updated with new and pricy software.
What really separates our product from the competition is the fact that we bring everything together in one app. Whether you are a boater, paddleboarder, jetskier, or simply want to go for a swim, we have everything you need to keep you safe out on the water.
The main features of the app include:
πΊ savvy charts - We license official hydrographic office nautical charts from around the globe. Our designers build savvy charts from the ground up to show essential marine information with a clean and easy-to-view interface.
π Tidal Data - View local tide data from over 8,000 tidal stations around the world. Easily view high and low tide with savvy tidal graphs and check tidal streams with our visual chart overlay.
π§ GPS Active Tracking - View your live position and check your Course Over Ground (COG) and Speed Over Ground (SOG) instantly. Circles around your location quickly show the distance between your boat and key features around you.
π¨ Wind Map - savvy charts come equipped with a detailed wind direction map. All of our plans cover the entire globe - a true world wind map at your fingertips!
π€ Weather Forecast - Scroll through the marine weather forecast to view the changing wind direction, speed, and weather conditions.
π Route Planning - Plot, move, and delete way-points with ease. Then savvy navvy will plan the best route based on the departure time, chart, weather, tide, and boat data. Export your route for use with your chart plotter.
β± Schedule departure and estimate arrival time - Never be late again. Plot a route from A to B to get a quick and easy estimation of your distance to travel, fuel requirements, and time of arrival.
βοΈ Marina & Anchorage Information - Check the seabed, weather protection, amenities, number of berths, maximum boat length, contact information, and more, for marinas and anchorages. Plan ahead for a better nightβs sleep!
π Night & Satellite Modes - Protect your night vision with savvy night mode and use satellite overlay to take a more detailed look at marinas and anchorages.
Our team is passionate about both technology and water activities and we're looking forward to your feedback! π
Oh damn! I'm obsessed with the name of your product and marketing ("It's like Google Maps... for boats" is both accurate, succinct, and hilarious). I don't have sea legs myself, but I'm going to share this with my cousin, who is a big-time sailor (he's sailed from the West Coast of Canada to the Caribbean multiple times) and works in the nautical industry. This seems up his alley (or should I say... galley π I'm having fun over here, folks).
