What's New

We are pleased to announce a new App version with improved performance.

We've added a color code tracking function which displays the ship's track and its speed. Pressing a ship the app will display up to 5000 data points which are color coded by the ship speed as follows:

100% green : 0 Knots
100% yellow : 12-13 Knots
100% red : 25 Knots
100% white : Over 25 Knots

The maximum number of days as the trail goes back depends on which app you bought:
TrackaShip SuperLite : 2 hours
TrackaShip : 48 hours (2 days)
TrackaShip HD : 48 hours (2 days)
TrackaShip Universal : 96 hours (4 days)
Trackaship Pro : 168 hours (7 days)

In addition, we have added previous port of call and country of registration to the provided ship information.

Additionally, we fixed a problem with the App crashing when show my position was enabled.

App Description

Ever wondered what ship it is you see passing a few miles off the beach?? This App gives you the ability to find out all the details of the ship, including size, speed, course, destination, estimated time of arrival and much more. All done with an easy to use and great looking App, which supports both iPhone and iPad.

What people are saying about our App: "Best user interface of any ship app I have tried" B. Colson, Maine. "Love the graphical design and the large icons that makes it easy to determine the ship type" R. Clark, London.

OpenSeaMap data is now accessible from within the app giving the possibility of showing the map data delivered by OpenSeaMap which includes seamarks, navigational rules and buoys in many areas of the world.

Furthermore, you may measure the distance to the ships from your position, as you may measure distance between any two ships. This will show you if they are really on collision course or if it's just an illusion.

See the ships displayed on the map with large and crystal clear icons.

Built-in compass and "direction" vector which helps find the direction of the ships and vessels.

Furthermore, images of the ships may be watched or uploaded directly from the app.

This version supports iOS split screen multitasking found on selected device.

Also we added the possibility to place user defined waypoints on the map (press and hold your finger on map). The waypoints can be used as measurement points from the user or between ships. Furthermore, by pressing the waypoint the position is copied to the clipboard, making it easy to paste positions into other applications. Pressing the callout of the waypoint will prepare a text message with the position ready to send to other users.Once the text message is received the user can press it and get the position up in google maps apps. This functionality has been requested by search and rescue workers who would like a tool to help pin point positions to colleagues out at sea.

Make sure to check out our FREE version of the app (Trackaship Superlite) before buying if in doubt about the coverage of you local area. The free version will show the same ships, but not any details.

This app depends on the data received via the Internet and is dependent on the Internet for displaying data.
