Boat Beacon - AIS Navigation is a revolutionary app that allows you to see and be seen on your boat in Coastal and Inland waters using just your Android phone or tablet. Developed by Electric Pocket, this app is the only Marine AIS ship plotting app that provides Collision Detection, uses real-time data, and shares your boat's position with other internet AIS users. It is specifically designed for use on the water and uniquely provides Bearing, Range, and Closest Point of Approach (CPA) calculations in addition to AIS ship information. This app is a must-have for everyone who goes on the water.

Boat Beacon provides Bearing and Distance information to other boats in addition to AIS information like speed, course, location, name, length, etc. It continually calculates and alarms CPA even when the app is in the background. The app has an option to Transmit your boat's position, speed, and heading to Global AIS Systems and other Boat Beacon users. The app provides a Live Map view with a compass overlay, which rotates with you so you can look in the direction of the ships on the map to locate them. Boat Beacon is an outstanding app with great potential and is very user-friendly.
