Users can personalize settings like ship information and measurement units. Registration requires an internet connection and a unique email for each device.
Chart Control
SafePilot supports instant zooming and fast response, allowing users to pan by dragging and zoom by pinching or double-tapping.
Chart Orientation, Scaling, and Navigation
Users can set chart orientation to 'North up' or 'HDG up' and define views for quick access to frequently visited locations.
Navigational Data
Displays standard navigational data such as heading, course over ground, and speed over ground in the top bar, with the conning position as the reference point.
Fullscreen Displays
Available for navigation, docking, and lock modes, accessible via the right-hand side panel.
Vessel Prediction
Allows visualization of projected movements based on current data.
GPS Status
Displays data source information, including satellite data and battery status, with RTK offering the highest precision.
Passage Plan and Vessel Setup
Users can configure vessel particulars and access a database of vessels from AIS for easy setup.
GPS Antenna Offsets

Docking Context
Displays docking information such as transverse and longitudinal speeds, and docking angles relative to fender lines.
Lock Context
Provides speed and angle information for navigating locks.
Lock Approach and Selection
Guidance for approaching locks, displaying distances from the vessel's centerline to the lock's centerline, with manual lock selection possible.
Turning Basin Context
Displays transverse and longitudinal speeds, and distances to the turning basin circle, with calculations based on the ship's center.
AIS Targets and Data
AIS targets are shown with true shape if data is available; otherwise, a symbol indicates position. Target info can be accessed by tapping on the AIS target.
Virtual Boarding
Allows users to virtually board another AIS target, indicated by a blinking 'V' on the chart.
EBL/VRM
Electronic bearing line and variable range marker allow users to measure bearing and distance from their vessel to a fixed location.
Chart Management
SafePilot connects to PRIMAR for chart updates, with charts and files exchangeable via iTunes.
Connecting to CAT ROT/CAT I
Instructions for connecting to CAT ROT and CAT I units, including network setup and connection procedures.
Connecting to CAT II/CAT III
Details on setting up and connecting to CAT II and CAT III units, emphasizing antenna placement for optimal performance.

Introduction to SafePilot The SafePilot software is a flexible piloting tool that can be extended by modules to fulfil a wide variety of demands. This user guide consists of two parts. First are the standard settings used to customize the program to the individual pilot’s preference. Second is a detailed description of the SafePilot program itself. App Settings To get started with SafePilot begin by setting your personal preferences such as ship information, units of measurement, etc. Go to the Home Screen — Settings — SafePilot and look at the options available. Registration Please note that...

Chart orientation, scaling and navigation The scale label below the compass in the top right corner of the screen indicates the charted distance from center of screen to top of screen. Whenever the own vessel is shown on the screen, the screen will follow the own vessel, by default so that there will be the most visible chart area in front of the vessel. The vessel (and chart) may be relocated on the screen, so that the screen follows the vessel in this new location. If the chart is moved, so the own vessel is no longer visible on the screen, the screen will no longer follow the vessel. In this...

Fullscreen displays Fullscreen displays are available for navigation, docking and lock mode. Tap on the side panel on the righthand side to bring up the fullscreen displays. Vessel prediction Tapping the clock in the lower right-hand corner brings up the vessel prediction dialog. The dialog has a slider that controls the amount of time into the future to predict the positions of vessels. Scrubbing the slider will thus visualize the projected movement of active vessels based on their current data. Conning position The conning position – which is used as the origin of the motion vector, EBL/VRM,...
