Boaters won't have to feel left out when they're using their iPhones anymore thanks to Traverse City-based
Oneupweb.
The new app, called Boat Load, can be used to create and file the appropriate float plans when hitting the open water -- be it by sea, ocean or inland lake.
"This iPhone app is for Parrot Heads, sailors, yachters, fishermen, pontoon owners, speed boaters, kayakers and more," says Oneupweb CEO Lisa Wehr. "If you own a boat, this app has everything you need to set sail except the cooler full of icy beverages."
But as Wehr points out, you can always use the app to set a reminder to grab the cooler before you head out the door.
Boat Load was designed to help any and all boaters on the water. Its features include: One glance/one tap dashboard display featuring real-time weather and tide updates; integrated GPS and mapping tools for locating ports, marinas and supply stations; geo-tagging capabilities on photos, trip notes and insurance claims; real-time float plans that are easy to use and share; accurate, real-time weather and tide forecasts for over 42,000 U.S. cities; point-of-interest trip planning tools; two-tap SOS button activates and confirms emergency 911 call; and access to even more navigation tools, directories and planning features.
"This is your all-in-one boating app, and there's never been another one like it," says Wehr. "We call it Boat Load because it is packed-full of features you won't find anywhere else."
The Boat Load app is currently available in the
iTunes store for a one-time download fee of $4.99.
