Anchor Alarm with Late Set vs Boat Beacon Usage & Stats

ANCHOR ALARM The Anchor Alarm app lets you feel safe and secure when on anchor. You get instant alerts and notifications when your anchor drags or the GPS reception degrades. The app comes with an option for late set: in case you forget to set the alarm when you drop the anchor, you can still do it later. You can also adjust the anchor position manually on the map screen. You can also manually enter the anchor coordinates, in case you saved them on another device. If you decide to take your device ashore, you can pause the alarm and reactivate it later, when you return. You can choose between circular area or you can draw a custom area on the map. The boat movement is recorded and a track is displayed on the map screen. The app runs in the background and requires no internet connection. The app supports dark mode and has simple and native user interface. FIND MY BOAT The app can remember the location of your boat when you leave and point you to its location later. In can also point to your last anchor position in case you forgot to set the boat position. Useful in crowded anchorages or when on your dinghy. ANCHORAGES MAP The app includes a map of more than 8000 anchorages around the world for free, showing depths where available. FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE The application allows you to personalize your experience through customizable settings such as: • measurement units • alarm sounds • GPS accuracy threshold • The time before a bad GPS accuracy alarm is triggered APPLE WATCH APP The app supports Apple Watch.
