FEATURES

CHART NAVIGATION
Get access to all savvy charts, wherever we have coverage. Our sailing maps have been custom-built using quality data from the UKHO (United Kingdom Hydrographic Office), NOAA and other hydrographic offices around the world to provide easy and safe sailing navigation - like a chart plotter in your pocket.

TIDE HEIGHTS GRAPH & TIDAL STREAMS
View tidal heights and streams on our tide chart. Scroll through the tidal graph to see changes in tidal highs and lows over time.

MARINE WEATHER FORECASTS
Use the weather forecast graph to scroll through days and times to see the effect on weather conditions, wind strength and direction. Use the wind icon to see a visual overlay of wind barbs!

ACTIVE TRACKING
Use boat tracking to hone in on your boat GPS location, see your course over ground (COG) and view your speed over ground (SOG). savvy navvy is essentially your nautical GPS giving you a compass heading to steer with a tide calculation!

Ratings and reviews

I boat on the Lake of the Ozarks and I need to see landmarks, businesses, points of interest and similar. Some lakefront business can't be found or the names are wrong. Some addresses can't be found. Navigation is OK but the waypoints are on the shoreline. Literally. I can't see myself using this app regularly nor do I see any value in upgrading to the paid version. I need to save locations, not routes.

Tried the free trial. Playstore charges your card £0 initially. Easy to cancel in playstore home page in payment and subscription tab. I found the app on the whole good. However it didn't meet my needs concerning low tides in estuaries. It would plot a route yet suggest times when there would be no water in the upper estuary at all. Worked well where there was deeper water. Personally I think a price of £40 per annum would seem reasonable. I find £80 pounds plus per annum too much.

Convenient, reliable, so much easier than a map for the captain to gain quick understanding and make decisions, especially in trying circumstances and/or new environment. I like that it covers some Canadian/ American lakes such as Memphremagog, where winds and weather change promptly. The road mapping offers best precision once you are out of your dock and somehow out of your bay.
