Water Map Live: iPhone vs Android

This is by far the most complete waterway and boating chart of the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. With all fairway features, buoyage, traffic signs and *live* bridges and locks: opening times, telephone numbers and VHF radio channels. More than 272,000 objects on the map, conveniently arranged in map layers that you can switch on and off as desired.

All water charts can be downloaded and used offline.

The app also offers hundreds of water level gauges with live water level data, tide curves, current sea weather, water temperature, navigation water depths, data from SAR stations, the complete Inland Waterways Police Regulations (BPR) and the water quality of numerous Dutch bathing water locations. And of course the latest Shipping Notices with works and obstructions.

Thanks to GPS, you can also read your speed and current coordinates. Of course, the app includes a sailing route planner: enter your starting point and end point on the Waterkaart Live chart and it will calculate the fastest route between the two points and show you which bridges and locks you will encounter en route. Handy!

You can now pair your own AIS transponder and on-board network in the app. Thanks to network AIS integration, you also get a good impression of the live positions of ships around you without a transponder.

The app also contains the complete and up-to-date Inland Waterways Police Regulations (BPR). You can search these and provide them with leaflets for reference. Also useful when getting your boating licence. The Inland Waterways Police Regulations contain the traffic rules for the vast majority of Dutch inland waterways and are compulsory for virtually every water sportsman and professional water user. Instead of a book, you can now carry this app on your iPhone and iPad.

NOTE: The Waterkaart Live and BPR are perfectly usable offline, however, for the live information on bridges & locks, current water levels and current weather it obviously uses an internet connection. The same applies to the current Shipping Notices.

The app really is LIVE and contains hundreds of current water levels, tidal curves, the weather at sea and in your area, water depths, data from KNRM stations and the water quality of countless Dutch bathing places. And the current notices to skippers (NtS): are there any obstructions on your route? You know it now. Always up to date.

In total, the app contains the data of more than one hundred thousand nautical objects that are shown on the map around you. Thanks to GPS you can also read your speed and current coordinates. With the GPS tracker you can record and save your routes.

The app is based on map material from the Dutch Land Registry and also contains the beautiful 1: 25,000 topographical maps of the Netherlands.

Water Map Live is excellent for offline use, but the live information about bridges & locks, NtS, the current water levels and the current weather naturally uses an internet connection.

Also for Android Auto
The Android Auto app is an extension of Waterkaart Live that you can use if you have a suitable device. To keep the Android Auto app clear and above all fast, it displays the set of icons that are most important when cruising. It also displays your route planned in the app and the recommended sailing directions of shipping nodes.
