BridgeMate

BridgeMate is an iPad app that serves as an efficient backup device in case of the main navigational system blackout. It can be used also as a convenient device for a seafarer to be aware of the navigational situation on board even if being away from the Bridge. Situational awareness, decision support and docking aids are available in one app. When offline, the application operates via the built-in GPS.
