BayPilot – voyage planner with marine maps, weather and navigation layers
BayPilot is a web app and Android app for planning sailing routes and preparing a voyage before departure. In one place you can plan a route, check distance, estimated travel time, weather forecast, map layers, marine marks, isobaths and bathymetry.
The app was built as a practical planner for sailors, motorboat users and people preparing coastal voyages. BayPilot helps you analyse a route, inspect the surroundings of ports, marinas, anchorages and fairways, and compare information from different map layers.
BayPilot works in the browser and on Android devices. The app can also be used offline after preparing the data needed for a voyage. This makes route planning and access to saved information convenient when internet access on the water is limited.
Marine maps, navigation marks and bathymetry
In BayPilot you can use the navigation layer, which shows useful information during voyage planning: marine marks, navigation aids, buoys, lights, ports, marinas, anchorages and other points relevant to boating. Marine marks are available globally, so the app can be used to prepare voyages in many areas of the world.
The app also shows isobaths and a bathymetry layer, which help with an initial assessment of depths, shallow areas, approaches to bays, ports and anchorages. Bathymetry is especially useful when planning a route, choosing a stopover and reviewing areas where depth needs attention.
The bathymetry layer currently covers mainly European waters and selected areas, and its coverage may be expanded. Map and bathymetry data are intended as supporting planning information and should always be compared with official nautical charts, notices to mariners and the skipper's own assessment.
Voyage planning, not a replacement for official navigation
BayPilot is designed as a route planning tool and support for voyage preparation. The app does not replace official nautical charts, certified navigation systems, notices to mariners or decisions made by the person in command of the vessel.
Data shown in the app may differ from current conditions on the water, and maps may contain errors or omissions. Before a voyage, always check current navigation information, weather information and local restrictions.
