Description:WaveTrax is the most fully featured sailing and boating logbook app for your iPad and iPhone. WaveTrax automates the often tedious process of keeping logs while you sail.
Cheaper than even the most basic paper logbook – which can easily be damaged or lost – WaveTrax adds a whole host of useful features, including free nautical maps, and the ability to add notes, annotations and photos to your logs.
Plus you can never fill it up, so it’s the only logbook you’ll ever need to buy!
The WaveTrax app lets you:
•Automatically track your journey on your iPhone or iPad, even offline, with detailed nautical maps;
•Automatically generate log entries at set distance and time markers;
•Add log entries, annotations, weather symbols and photos to your logs as you go.
•Share your logs and photos on Facebook, Twitter or by email;
•View, modify, annotate, and digitally sign your logs;
•Store your sailing certificates and documents and easily share them with officials from your iPhone or iPad;
•Add and store details of crewmates and boats you’ve sailed on.
No more worrying about making log entries as you sail. Just set WaveTrax going when you cast off and focus all your attention on having fun sailing or boating!
Never lose anything again with secure cloud storage:
Everything you log with the app while you’re out on the water gets synced to our servers. Without Internet access on the water your new logs, notes and photos are stored in your iPhone or iPad then synced next time you connect to the Internet.
With everything stored securely in the cloud, you’ll never lose mementos of your adventures again or be searching round the cabin for that certificate you need to show when you reach port.
What to use WaveTrax for:
The WaveTrax app can be used to track journeys on any type of boat or ship, whether you’re on a sail boat, powerboat or cruise ship. The free nautical maps that come with the app cover the entire globe and include detailed marine maps plus maps of lakes and rivers.
For each trip you can set the following:
•Departure Port

WaveTrax makes log entries:
•At the start and end of the journey

•Digitally sign your logs, using a writing panel on your iPhone or iPad, if you need to present them to authorities.
