Iphone Tide applications

[Jizm]

Using the Atlantis technology Tide App , closest port to me is Pompey. Obviously it's free and seems to work ok, anyone recommend another?

Have a look at Marine Day Tides (by Tucabo & Imray). The free version only gives you today's tides, and let's you store your favourites - Cowes, Yarmouth, Lymington, Poole are all on there and it seems OK - not that I'm any sort of expert!

I've got this one, works well I find.

day tides is good

if you want a proper boating app tho get;

BOATIE

It gives you

tides

weather - including inshore forcast for next 24 hours, and also a synoptic chart

navigation - it gives you you gps position, COG & SOG and you can enter a waypoint to find out distance and bearing

rules of the road - day shapes/night lights on boats sound signals

weather terminology

beaufort wind scale

lunar calender

code flags (a-z)

VHF channels

IALA buoyage

and this is all for £3.99 may be even cheaper now

and then one other app is ichart, this app is basicly admiraty charts on your phone, iv got anglesey, and that cover the llyn peninsuala all the way to the great orms head, all together 16 charts.

that one is the most expensive at £40 but it shows you position on the chart and you can set waypoints too, and iv tested it and its pretty accrurate

does it not drink the juice from your phone when using these apps and the location services. i worry that ill use them and the phone will then go flat which isnt good

Navionics does both of those combined with charts for a wider area, the last time I looked it was down to 15 quid!

I just downloaded TidesPlan and regret it, the tidal graphs are no better than the Navionics ones.

Yes it does, I bought co-pilot SatNav for £25 and whilst its as good as Tom Tom if you use it for anything over an hour or so your nearly flat.No problem with the car charger of course.

I've got one of the new HTC Desire's - billed as an Iphone beater. It runs the Android operating system - anyone seen a tide App?

Thats the problem, might be better than an iphone, but with no users there is nothing available. Joys of fashions, trends, marketing and herd mentality.

Though i do have an iphone.

Vodafone gave it to me as a replacement for the BB Storm that I kept sending back - it seems that if you've had your phone replaced 3 times or more they'll give you something else ........... except an I phone! They offered me a Desire and I hadn't heard of it, but it's very good. It syncs with Outlook Activesync and the App store is full of great stuff - just no tide App yet!

[HUMBER P4VWL]

if its got the internet you should just be able to google tide tables. Then do a screen print of the page and store it in your photos, thats what i did anyway.

On the iphone, you press the centre button and power on button at the same time, screen flashes and it is stored in your photos, magic.

Im sure your phone will have the same techno.

battery is fine when you get a 12 volt power connector
