iPhone / Navigation

Use marine charts and trail maps offline, see your speed and get the direction to waypoints, import and export waypoints using GPX, record your course and share it. Add your own tiled XYZ and WMS map servers allowing third party maps to be used such as google, custom Mapbox or ESRI maps.

Watch Wayfinder is a mini chart plotter and activity tracker for your Apple Watch. Designed to provide quick information, such as speed, direction, and distance traveled, with just a glance at your wrist. This app integrates with the Health App, recording your on-water and terrestrial activities, helping you monitor your performance. The companion iPhone app enables you to create or import waypoints from GPX files and sync them with your watch before heading out, and also view your previously recorded activities. You can also export the waypoints to a GPX file for backup and sharing.

To start recording a water sport activity on your Apple Watch, either press start activity, do a long press on the map to create a waypoint, or select a previously created waypoint from the list.

Compatible with any GPS and compass-enabled Apple Watch. Perfect for small boats, windsurfing, kiteboarding, hiking or cycling, whether you're relaxing or racing.
