Individual shapes as swing circles instead of just round circles Here's an overview of all the important features: I have addressed and solved this problem with this app. For example, you have enough space to the south or north. Because the wind, for example, is coming from the west, but it will turn to the east at night, and maybe there is a shallow water area that you want to be warned about early on. You will surely know the problem when you want to set an anchor alarm after anchoring, you don't want the same warning distance in every direction. Now I have completely overhauled everything in Version 2, and I am convinced that your anchor watch will run differently with this anchor alarm app in the future. More and more features were added over time. (I would never wake up from the quiet, one-time alarm tone of my Garmin GPS handheld device)Īnd that's exactly what I already implemented in the first successful version of this app. I want to be really woken up by an alarm when the anchor is dragging. The swing circle should not be just a circle, but should take into account my individual free space, which can be different in each direction.Ģ.

§ All alarms are active in the background and even if you lock your iPhone.Ĭontinued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.I had two simple requirements for an anchor alarm app:ġ. § Optional alarm on low volume / silent mode

§ Optional alarm on low battery or other power supply issues § Ship dimensions in true-to-scale representation in the map § Individual shapes instead of a fix swing arc Well, with Anchor Alarm you've the ability to set your swing shape in advance as individually as specific for each situation! I'm convinced, with this App your anchor watch will be improved in many ways!įor sure you know the problem after you set the anchor successfully, you would like to set an Anchor Alarm for your anchor-watch, but later at night the wind shifts from East to West, and exactly in West there is a nasty shoal. Also in case of other problems like poor GPS accuracy or power supply drain. I would like to wake up even if I sleep like a log. The adjustable swing arc should assume every possible shape, as the maximum distance could be different to each direction.Ģ. I had two simple Requirements to a Anchor Alarm App:ġ.
