RASTER CHARTS VS. VECTOR CHARTS

The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration provides both RNC (raster) & ENC (vector) charts.

The great advantage of the high resolution RNC charts used by iSailGPS is the high level of detail produced by professional cartographers that is unobtainable on any vector-based chart. ENC Vector Charts only show a coastline, water depth, navigation aids & minimal details.

These RNC Charts differ from vector charts in that each chart covers a specific area, just as paper nautical charts do. Switches automatically to a new chart when your boat leaves the area covered by the previous chart. For most locations, there are multiple charts at different scales with different levels of detail & areas of coverage.

Paper charts can have multiple panels, each showing a different area or scale. Each digital panel is individually displayed by iSailGPS with a north-up orientation.

Other more expensive marine software uses these same RNC charts. iSail GPS is priced to make it readily available to all boating enthusiasts.

Winner of the Practical Sailor Editors’ Choice Award.

DEVICE REQUIREMENTS

Use iSailGPS on any iOS device even if you don't have a cellular data plan for it. iPhones & WiFi+cellular iPads support full navigation. For WiFi-only iPads & iPod touch, an iOS-compatible external GPS receiver is required to show your location on the water & record tracks. However, you can view charts using the iOS device alone.

Discover a safer and more enjoyable sailing experience with iSailGPS!

ISailGPS : NOAA USA RNC Charts Pros

ISail GPSReplaces a basic chart plotter. I run in the dark quite a bit, and this app has been very accurate for me. I’m always impressed - basic functions, but it performs very well..WyecrabVersion: 9.1.1

The Perfect ComboISail is the perfect combination of gps tracking tech and time honored and trusted NOAA charts. Easy interface allows for quick waypoint and route creation, and accurate speed over ground, course over ground, and location tracking over time. Adding new charts and their upclose inserts from all over the US is quick and intuitive. Highly recommended for day sails and multi-waypoint long distance trips..Jon GusVersion: 9.4.3

ISailGPS : NOAA USA RNC Charts Cons

Poor chart managementThe main problem for me is the inability to stitch together a see less chart and being able to get the best detail for the area automatically. I’ve been playing with app for awhile now and when I get to the chart boundary I can often get the next chart to show by double tapping the white area outside of it. And sometimes, I think, it seems to have successfully stitched together into a single, larger chart. But, it may not have the sufficient detail I need for a particular port. At that point I’m forced to go to my downloaded charts and find it. Not so simple as I now have a long list of charts. This can be impractical to do on the water unless you have a dedicated navigator. When approaching a busy area I don’t want to take my eyes off the water and be scrolling through a list of charts trying to find the appropriate detail. Maybe I’m missing something but for me other apps with paid subscriptions work a lot better. There’s just no chart management needed, and you can find them for as little as $5/year (at least for my area - eastern US coast)..StewartGriffinVersion: 9.4.5

Needs a lot of work on usabilityThe designer of this software made some rather inexplicable decisions that make it much less intuitive to use. Some suggestions for improvement: 1. Let the user download chart KITS not individual charts. By requiring me to download individual charts I am almost guaranteed to find myself in a tiny, complicated harbor without the local chart and no cell signal. 2. Use the current map focal point to load the local chart rather than loading based on my current location. Sometimes I like to see the map of where I'm going BEFORE I get there (and I do not want to have to dig the chart up by name when I'm trying to steer a boat). 3. Add "use map" to the "add waypoints" screen. Does anyone really enter waypoints by manually entering lat/long coordinates??? Kind of impossible without a paper chart for reference! As it is right now this software is kind of useless for anything but simple day sailing where you will only traverse 2 or 3 charts in one day..EherotVersion: 4.4
