Congrats building a nice product in a niche space. There's quite a bit of competition out there (Nobletec[1], MaxSea[2]) in case you haven't researched them, but at significantly higher price points.
How much trip planning can one do with your app? (ie, departure at a certain time with tides, when current is expected to go foul on me, etc)?

- andrewljohnson 13y agoThere is a route editor in the app, but it does not account for tides and current, unless you makes notes for each waypoint. It just lets you plot a point-to-point route, and get basic guidance. More intelligent routing seems like a good avenue to explore though. I saw the Nobeltec products came out recently, but haven't fared all that well on iPad. The apps to beat are probably still Navionics, Garmin, and iNavX. Everyone else is tier 2 in terms of earnings.
