With the Yottie Yacht Tracker for iPhone, you can...
Find out where your boating friends and family are
Yottie shows where and when your friends checked in, the direction they were heading (COG) and how far away from you they are. Perfect for arranging a rendezvous, or for giving relatives a little peace of mind. Especially as they'll have your last reported position to hand in an emergency.
See Yottie traffic on an AIS style display
Yottie lets you track the checkins of fellow Yottie users around your current position and gives you important safety information such as their Course Over Ground (COG), Boat Name, Call Sign and MMSI for VHF Digital Selective Calling (DSC).
Bookmark and search for your friends
Yottie lets you search and bookmark your Yottie friends, so it's easy to keep track of your favourite Yotties. And with Yottie's privacy options, you can even make sure its only your bookmarked friends who can see your location.
Stay in touch automatically... Stay online longer
As well as being able to checkin when it suits, there is an auto-checkin option which lets Yottie keep your friends updated while you get on with having fun. And because Yottie only does auto-checkin when your iPhone/iPad is actively switching cells on the phone network, its very kind on your battery life too.
Warning: Yottie is designed as a fun social tool, and is only as accurate as the information it gets from other Yottie users. It does not (and cannot) guarantee the information is complete or accurate, and not all boats around you will be Yottie users.
Yottie must therefore not be used for navigation or as a replacement for AIS, official safety aids or common sense. If it proves useful in a safety situation, that's a bonus...
Yottie was created by keen Yachtie, Rob Woodgate.
