- andrewljohnson 13y agoThe charts and tides are US-only, though the app does include aerial, topo, and road maps, and weather info, from all over the world. If this launch goes well, we'll almost certainly start getting international charts in there. There are only a few countries where you don't need a license, so it's boats a development and business management challenge. I'd also like to figure out how to either license or crowd-source inland lake data. We don't have much besides the Great Lakes (and topo maps) for inland right now.
- vmarsy 13y agoAre your maps ENC maps ? [1] If so, are your updates encrypted ? It seems to be a requirement to use the app as the official maps, otherwise you would still need a paper version of it. Also : Is the US one of the countries where you don't need a license ?

- andrewljohnson 13y agoThe charts are the official BSB raster charts from NOAA. The US is one of the few countries that makes their charts free and open. There is no encryption of any sort.
