SafeMonitor is an companion app to SafeAnchor and shows your boats position, anchor position, the boats last movements and any geofence if set. SafeMonitor only works together with SafeAnchor.

SafeMonitor does not giva a real time view of the boats position, it might differ many minutes up to hours. The boat position has different colours depending on how old the position is. By pressing the annotation further information can be displayed. SafeMonitor will also receive notifications and give alarm when in background mode.

With the build in GPS you can navigate back to your boat by following a green line joining the boats position with your position on the display. You will also get how far away the boats is.

If you have wind enabled in SafeAnchor then SafeMonitor will also show the current predicted wind towards your boat.

SafeMonitor will only work if you have the anchor set in SafeAnchor and the intended use is to monitor your boat while at anchor when you’re ashore. To prevent any other use the synchronisation will be disabled if the boat moves more that 600m from the anchor position.

SafeAnchor will update the boat position and boat track to iCloud. The frequency of updates are depending on how much the boat moves. If the boats position differs form the received track then they will both be combined with a red line.

When the information is actually transmitted to and from iCloud is not controllable hence no guaranty when SafeMonitor will be updated.
