Savvy Navvy Releases Upgraded Boating App

Marine technology company, savvy navvy, rolled out the next generation of its all-in-one navigation app with enhanced reliability, greater speed, and a smoother user experience, alongside some feature upgrades. New and existing users in more than 100 countries across the globe can now access savvy navvy V2. 

By integrating ongoing feedback from boating and watersports users, the savvy navvy team has create and improved the following key features:

  • Navigation mode: The new Start button takes users to a new navigation mode that automatically records their track and saves it in the Saved section. This new travel mode is dynamic and adapts to users’ actual course and position by instantly replotting the route and updating the ETA if they deviate. It gives easy access to information like Course Over Ground (COG), speed, elapsed time, and distance, as well as a shortcut to the weather forecast. If users planned a route, savvy navvy will show them the corresponding Course To Steer (CTS), upcoming maneuvers, and ETA. One can even choose between a 3-D view with the heading up or stick to the classic 2-D view with North up.
  • Anchor Alarm Upgrade: The anchor alarm has had a serious makeover, and users now have full control over the swing zone right on the savvy chart™. They set the simple circle shape or choose a sector for special conditions with ease. If they drift outside the ‘safe area’ they’ve defined, savvy navvy will let you know with a loud alarm.
  • Clouds and Rain Overlay: Users can stay one step ahead of the weather with savvy navvy’s new clouds and rain overlay feature by zooming out for a broader view of cloud coverage and precipitation intensity. 
  • Wind Gust:  It’s now easier to see gauge the weather with the addition of wind gusts with an easy-to-view graph within the weather section of the app. Users can view the changing graph colors and heights to read gust strengths throughout the day.

In addition to the V2 generation upgrades, savvy navvy continues to expand in the United States market. Earlier this year, savvy navvy partnered with industry-renowned Waterway Guide, giving U.S. boaters an enhanced user experience, integrating comprehensive marina details, and user reviews into the navigation app, to better plan their journeys. 

Available on Android, IOS, PC and Mac, savvy navvy can be used on multiple devices simultaneously, and is available in both free and “premium” options with enhanced access and functionalities for just $99/year.
