New B&G App to Benefit Sailors
B&G's New Navigation App
B&G has announced its B&G App for sailors, with enhanced navigation features and device mirroring.
The app includes a free version as well as a premium upgrade that seamlessly synchronises with the full range of B&G chartplotters.
Users will be able to access features such as free up-to-date and detailed nautical charts from C-MAP, personal waypoints, routes and tracks, the latest marine weather and personalisation.
Users with the premium version will enjoy Global charts and offline maps, Automatic Identification System (AIS), B&G App Traffic, five-day weather along the route and five-day weather overlay, GPS navigation data and line, track record as well as a range of C-MAP cartography features that are continuously updated by data from official hydrographic offices.
Premium user sailors can view weather data that might affect their journey, such as wind speed and direction, wave size, sea state, moon phases, tides, and currents.
Simon Condor, Global Head of Brand at B&G said that once onboard, the app can be used as an extension of the boat’s display by using the mirroring and control feature.
“Ideal for planning your next cruise or plotting your race marks in advance from the comfort of your home, it is simple to step onboard and synchronize directly with your B&G display,” Condor said.
The B&G App is now available on the Apple store and Google Play.
