What's inside
A closer look at Navigator Pro
Years of real Broads boating turned into tools you can lean on, from tide-aware routing to bridge headroom you can trust.
Navigation and route planning
- It doesn't just measure distance. The app reads the real tidal flow and river conditions and works out a sensible route for your boat and your speed.
- Plan a round trip or a full week away and it tells you when to set off so the tide is with you, not against you. No getting caught out by low water halfway up the river.
- Breydon Water gets its own treatment, with timing help so you cross that tricky stretch at the right moment.
Bridges, handled properly
- A proper physics-based engine predicts how much headroom you'll have at a bridge for a given time, taking your boat's air draft and the local weather into account.
- It then tells you the best high or low water window to clear the awkward bridges safely, so you're not guessing on the approach.
Live weather and water
- Local, detailed weather, wind and tide information, pulled from real gauge readings with pressure and surge taken into account.
- Flow arrows on the map show you the speed and direction of the current at a glance, so you can read the water before you reach it.
Everything worth stopping for
- A full library of free and paid moorings across the Broads, with notes on safety and facilities.
- Find the practical stuff fast, fuel, water points, pump-out stations and electric points.
- Safety filters for things that matter in a pinch, like defibrillators, all mapped and easy to reach.
Built to be relied on
- Accurate GPS tracking keeps your position, heading and speed updating in real time, so you can keep your eyes on the water.
