Sailing Logbook and Diary

Sailing Logbook enables sailors to keep their logbook on iPhones or iPads in accordance to the basic principles of log integrity. It simultaneously generates a personal diary including photographs, texts and descriptions. All data are saved on your device.

You make all your entries in the entry list, not immediately in the log book and you can scroll, edit or delete existing entries, add entries at the end (by tapping (+) or append entries (by swiping on the line above).Navigation entries, weather forecasts, daily checks and ship's data are structured in modules so that suitable modules can be chosen as required. You can add individual text, photos, maps and routes; these entries can be marked as private, which means they won't appear in the official logbook.

Any changes, insertions or deletions of entries will be registered, and depending on the general program settings, marked in the official logbook 'as in a notepad', whereas the diary will not show this.

Downloading maps requires localisation-settings and internet connection; nevertheless without internet connection the current GPS coordinates will be saved and the maps may be downloaded later, if internet connection is available and the entry is selected again.

All manually taken GPS-coordinates are connected as a route. There is no permanent tracking implemented, to minimise battery consumption.
