Buenos días,

Ayer me descargué el Boat Beacon (7,99 Euros). Una versión del tipo "localizatodo" basada fundamentalmente en AIS, pero con funcionalidades para el cálculo de CPA:

Specifically designed for use on the water, uniquely providing Bearing, Range and Closest Point of Approach (CPA) calculations in addition to all the standard AIS information. Uses up to the second AIS feeds unlike the other AIS apps which can be a minute or even more behind real time. Transmits as well as receives AIS and the only app that continuously monitors CPA, notifying if potential collisions are detected even when the app is in the background.

• Real time map view of your boat and boats near you via AIS.
• Over the horizon collision avoidance and alarm using Closest Point of Approach (CPA)
• CPA calculations and AIS position updates continously in background
• Compass mode to sight ships on the map
• Current Speed, Course and GPS location
• Share your location with friends and family (iOS only at present)
• Man Overboard tracking (iOS only at present)
• Anchor Watch and Theft Alarms (iOS only at present)
• Ship to Ship instant messaging – chat with other Boat Beacon boats. (iOS only at present)
• Magnetic or True North setting. (iOS only at present)
• MMSI numbers to contact nearby boats on via VHF.

With transmit enabled your boat will appear on other Boat Beacon devices. If you enable AIS sharing and have an MMSI number your boat will also appear on live AIS traffic sites and their associated mobile applications, eg:

• AIS Hub
• Marine Traffic
• Ship finder
