Yes Android would be great, ipads are ok in small doses, I spend my time on windows/android.
Thanks for the review. You are right: iSailor is the pilot app for Transas on iOS platform. We are trying to apply competence and technologies that we accumulated from professional marine market.
If anyone else has a suggestion for additonal features, please comment.
Looking forward to the new release.
Features I'd also like: 1. Way made good. I.e the speed and distance for the target vector, compared to actual course. Very informative for sailing. 2.Bridge clearance displayed. 3. Satellite picture overlay.
I have iSailor for the iPhone. It looks promising, and the charts are comparably cheap. However, I'm not very happy with a few basic things:
Sorry for the delay, I just noticed your message.
The version 1.5.0 is available in AppStore for download. What's new: - Completely redesigned interface with multiple layouts; - Free cursor / Locator tool; - Waypoint monitoring: XTE and ETA parameters are added; - Additional Electronic Range and Bearing Line tool referenced to own ship symbol; - Support of long time track recording; - Manual input of coordinates for Waypoint and User info objects; - Support of GPX for import and export; - The problem with chart disappearing due to limited device memory space has been fixed.
In case your kml file contains track or route data - it's imported properly.
The new version supporting manual coordinates input will be available very soon - it's ready and awaiting Apple's approval. I hope it would take 1-2 weeks not more. I will keep you updated.
I rarely comment or post on blogs or anything but I wanted to chime in say that, after WEEKS of exhaustive research (with alot of help from this blog) and experimenting, iSailor is DEFINITELY one of the best Marine Charting apps on the mobile market. The charts are fantastic, as good as any Navionics (at least here in South Florida), the charts are constantly updated from within in the app. No bizzare third party websites to separately buy charts and subscribe to "data services" (you know exactly which one I'm talking about).
The developers continue to add functionality. They have been active and helpful on this blog answering questions and providing comments. Thanks Euguene! I have other reviews of some of the versions over the years. Simply search for iSailor in the Search this Blog box in the right column.
Frank, Active Captain would be a great addition. I agree! They have an awesome database of marine POI.
Dear Gunnar and Mark,
Andriod would be fantastic! It's a great app as it is but tides and current information would be brilliant. Along with a weather info overlay would make this one of the best on the market. Current and tidal overlay on the map would be a killer feature for me.
iSailor offers some pretty nice features, such as basic navigation data, useful route planning with import/export, POIs, chart rotation and route up navigation. It does not have the exhaustive navigation data and instrument features of SeaClear, but it satisfies my needs perfectly.
Android version would indeed be would be very useful, Galaxy Note 3 s-pen opens up many possibilities.already own ios version now need android. you already have customers waiting . Good Job keep it up!!
Become a follower to keep up on all the great app reviews.

Dear all, please do not hesitate as well.
Thanks you for you comments. I too have been a fan of iSailor since I first reviewed it over 2 years ago. They have come a long way and have added many new features over the years.
Best regards, Evgeny.

Has there been any announcement from Transas regarding a feature release schedule? One of the most important use cases iSailor is obviously not supporting in its current version, is entering waypoints by coordinates. Successfully entering the correct waypoint via touching the chart involves too much luck, I think (especially taking into account my not-so-slim fingers and the movement of the boat!). Importing waypoints from a third application is too complicated, unless you intend to follow a fixed itinerary very strictly.
Dear Eugene, Thank you very much. Regards Al.
Dear AI, Thanks a lot for the positive and constructive feedback. The only correction I would mention that the cosine should be taken between the bearing and the COG. Anyway personally I agree there is a common sense. We will check and fix the behavior in one of the nearest updates. Best Regards, Eugene.
Will you offer an Android version in the near future?
All noted, thanks!
ISailor definitely does it right, combining all the good of in-house apps by the chart company themselves (like Navionics) with all the actual GPS functionality of dedicated charting apps (like iNavx and SeaIQ). Absolutely fantastic.
The charts are typically updated 2-4 times per year depending on the region. The next update for Chile comes in December - early January.
Hi Eugene, has been sick and have not had time updates of Chile, have come new cards and data, the time you think it will be possible . from already thank you ..
Navionics has world wide coverage on Android phones & tablets.
Agree with Port it to Android. Port it to Android. How soon can I get it on Android?
Thanks, Tommo, noted.
I totally agree with you. I like iSailor too by the way it handles waypoints is not good. It is difficult to create the waypoint where you want it and I have not found a way to delete the waypoints or edit the coordinates in any way.
It's under consideration, but concrete plans are not fixed yet.
Navionics native app would be a definite contender if it wasnt so lackluster in actual GPS functions. iNavx would be the supremo if it weren't so bizarrely complicated and obscenely expensive. This is THE dark horse in the marine charting wars, poised to easily become the best as it goes on.
Hello Mark, Hello Richie.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

Transas iSailor Navigation and Charting App.
I'm also a great fan of the app! I've installed it on my IPhone. 2 days ago i tool some friends for an evening cruise on the bay, an I was very impessed with the app - it's very handy with a plotter in you pocket
All the marine apps on Android seem to just support the NOAA charts which is fine if you live in the US but what about the rest of us.
WISH they did it for android. Best nav ap on my ipad, but need it on my android phone too!
I am sure iSailor will be around for years to come and I expect development will continue. I will do my best to keep you all updated on the new developments.
Hello Slam, Thank you very much for the kind words and a good question. Sorry for this and I fully understand your frustration however all iOS app deveolpers are forced to follow Apple policies and restrictions. With iOS7 introducing Apple issued new development tools those you have to use for publishing new apps with no choice, and these tools are not compatible with old iOS versions and devices including iPad1 accordingly. We consider launching Android version in mid 2014 - not within recent season in Australia. During this season we definetely issue some new versions of iSailor for iOS with additional and essencial features. If you'd like to jump to Android anyway, I'd suggest to stick to some well known and widely used brandname and up-to-date hardware since it has much more chances to be supported and regularly tested by us when launching iSailor for Android. Do not stick to any noname and low-end gadget. Hope this helps a bit. Best Regards, Eugene.
I am currently evaluating options for a chart plotting app to take with me on our cruise in the Argolic gulf. iSailor looks very promising to me, and the charts are probably sufficient for our "hobbyist" purposes.
PS. Thanks for your note re waypoints naming.
Eugene, I will run through your app again and come up with some recommendations for future enhancements. Any other readers of the review, please feel free to list what you would like added to the app. Transas look like a large company with alot of resources, this could be good!
Hello Lorenc Rexhepaj.
I agree - I re-installed iSailor on my new iPhone 6S but I was unable to migrate the charts from the old iPhone 4S. I tried to contact iSailor but they refused to reply. I have to re-buy the charts of the UK and Caribeean as it is the only way to use the app. Despite the makers saying that I can copy the charts from iTunes - you can't. So I don't use iSailor anymore and I will try and recover my costs from the courts. peter lancaster.
I love Transis Isailor but I do have some issues. The latest update excludes any new features for those of us who use an earlier apple device. I have an Ipad1 and no longer get the latest changes to the app, its very disappointing. I am having to consider updating my iPad just to keep it functional. On that point i will also jump on the android bandwagon as It will be a whole lot easier for me to use an android tablet cost wise providing I can utilize my paid for maps. Any comments Eugene?
It sounds like you are doing it correctly. Try deleting the app and reinstalling the latest version, there appears to be some issue with the app.
Your comments about the charts are very true. Make it easy to purchase, download and update. Keep it simple, KISS!
Most apps have the ablility to just make a waypoint at the current location or at a point you select on the chart. I did not find that functionality. I might have missed it. Is there a users guide out yet?
Mark, we had an impression that it's better to avoid users guide need for iOS application. However in that case if it's not obvious for the user means that we should improve the usability.
1. Android version is under consideration. 2. NMEA data support will be available within 2013.
In turn, if you have any questions to us please ask them either here or via the product web site.
I'd love to see integration to activecaptain.com. The ActiveCaptain community has created an amazing database of marina, anchorage and related information.
I have on small question: how do I transfere the maps that I've bought to my IPad?
Go to “Settings” layout.
I guess the problem was you have to enter route editing mode again (in the low toolbar), select "Edit current route". Then you can either add or insert waypoints.
Welcome to the blog! iSailor does allow import of kmz files through email or through iTunes. Check out the user manual here http://isailor.us/faq/i/Transas_iSailor_User_Manual.pdf.
I was able to add what you call waypoints in a route but there was no way to rename them. I suppose you could make a route with one point and rename the route. You do allow renaming routes.
I would really like to see this on Android. I am cruising Saimaa in Finland this summer and from a previous comment you obviously have charts for that.
Hi just a little suggestion.
Mark.. is there a way to have the chart always orient to course up?
Best Regards, Evgeny.
Just a brief comment from my side recently. AIS data through WiFi is planned to be released in January. ETA correction will be also there.
There are some expensive charts (as south america + caribe) can you breack them in parts? For an instance i only need ecuadorian chart but it can only be obtained in a $24 package.
For the record, I think SeaIQ is another fantastic app if you want to use NOAA charts (better at it than iNavx).
Android, Android, Android, ANDROID!
Starting from version 1.4.0 the procedure of getting charts on both devices has become even more simple. You have to download Transas iSailor app on your second device, press the "Restore" button. You will see all your previously purchased folios in the category "Already paid". Press the "Download" button and install these folios on your device. You will not be extra charged (important! use the same iTunes account).
Thanks for the feedback. I was able to import a .kml file from Google Earth through email. I think I am running version 1.5.7. Appreciate you providing some comments.
Yes Android please, its promising software.
Hi Eugene, for there came Chile updates, but missed the charts new that have come, when those one . thanks Luis.
Not yet, however we do have some new products in the roadmap. What type of laptop do you have? MacOs or Windows based?
hola: en chile aun no se han actualizado las cartas a que se debe el motivo ya han pasado varios meses y nada aun, gracias.
I'm still getting the hang of all the ins and outs (I found it hard to create a route) but definitely super pleased with this app. Its stunning because it isnt mentioned NEARLY as much on all the blogs and forums as the other big 2 (iNavx and Navionics) yet I think it is truly better than both. And the app itself is free and the chart for my area was 5 friggin dollars!
Please can I use this software in my lap top !
Just downloaded and began playing with it. Looks really great. Is there a way to add route (waypoint) by entering coordinates? I have some good fishing holes I'd like to store. Thanks. CD.
Please liaise with iSailor support (you can do it directly from the iSailor app, Settings/Feedback) and attach your kml file for our verification. We will check that in new version your waypoints are imported properly.
I have just started to look at iSailor and it does look promising. I have Imray Charts app which has some nice features but in my opinion is seriously flawed because it uses raster charts which would be fine if it could seamlessly join them. Navigating around the charts is rubbish. So Vector charts are better and isailor's appear to be good. Immediate thoughts. NMEA input via WIFI or blue tooth because one of the big problems with built in GPS is the battery drain and putting an ipad in a sealed case makes external power difficult, and maybe being able to stream AIS data through WIFI would be fantastic. How about a compas? Certainly agree with AL that ETA to waypoint must be a true ETA based on the speed of approach not the SOG, bit of a no brainer.
I have the same problem. I bought the iPhone version originally and then bought an iPad. I installed the app on my iPad and no maps. Since they are an in app purchases I don't think you can transfer them. Maybe Transas could help us out. I will look into it.
Triying to import kml waypoint files created on google earth. I email them to my Ipad, then open with Isailor. When clickung to import always same problem : "no objects were found in import files". Same happends with gpx or kmz files.
"BRINGING MORE GEEK TO YACHTING" WELCOME ABOARD! Reviewing the best iPhone and iPad marine navigation and GPS related applications.
“North Up” / “Course Up” / “Head Up” buttons – Select the Chart orientation during sailing mode: North Up, Course-Up (by Course-Over-Ground data from internal or external GPS) or Head-Up (at the moment only internal Apple fluxgate compass is supported in Head Up mode);
Transas has made some great improvements since I reveiwed it. I can only hope they add the ability to edit the coordinates of the waypoints. Eugene from Transas, if you are listening we want the ability to edit the coordinates of the waypoints.
Waypoints renaming is absent - You are correct - to be implemented.
Another vote for an Android version. I already have iSailor on my iPod Touch but the GPS functionality on the iPod Touch in iOS 6 has become problematical.
You are right, vector charts have many advantages over raster charts. Take a look at my other iSailor review of version 1.5. Transas has made many new improvements making it a real contender. http://i-marineapps.blogspot.com/2012/09/transas-isailor-release-15....
Hello Mark, Hello Joan,
1. Is there really no way to enter coordinates? I want to add a waypoint to a known harbour. 2. Nor can I find any way to search for a name. I want to find 'vinga' and navigate there. Most likely by adding a waypoint. 3. Missing compass direction for selected or next waypoint. Now, I've not used iSailor at sea, does it show up when close enough to a route? This is crucial! 4. Zooming out does not use retina display, but switches to larger blocks of graphic too early. Very annoying. 5. Names disappear too early when zooming out. On a larger scale you can't read even what a city or bay is called. 6. I bought the Baltic North chart, but it does not contain Mälaren, the whole water district west of Stockholm. There was no way to see this from the chart store, because the preview is too small and the text not detailed enough. Now, this is where I'm going, which makes the app pretty worthless even if it was comparably cheap.
Hi Eugenie, Your 1.5.1 is a big improvement thank you. We tested it today in our yacht and while it is more useful there is one more improvement which needs to be made. The ETA assumes that the yacht heading is the same as the bearing to the waypoint. This is not always the case especially for a yacht which is tacking into the wind. This could be improved if you take the cosine of the angle between the bearing and the heading and apply this to the calculation for the ETA. Regards.
hello: in Chile have not yet updated the cards that is the reason it's been several months and nothing yet, thanks.
Could you please express your opinion: What functionality should be added into the next app versions?
These comments apply to version 1.4.0.
Hi Luis, Yes, the _existing_ chart set has been updated to the newest charts version. There are some other charts as well for Chile that could potentially complement the chart folio. Please write to our support team via email about the area for your primary interest - we will revert with approximate date for possible inclusion. Best Regards, Eugene.
Hi this seems to be a very competitive software I hope though that NMEA signal will be possible to read, is that in the plan right now or an option to wait for?
Blog Pages.
Definitely going to need to be able to import Waypoints as simply waypoints (as opposed to just routes) but thats already coming in 1.6 (which is out soon apparently according to Eugene). After that, the sky is the limit. So so so pleased with this app, it's a crime so much attention is paid to those other 2 while this one is so often over looked.
I would not give any promises right now but we will definetely put this into consideration.
The “Location” menu item is needed for following actions:

Most probably the kml file contains no routes and tracks but only isolated waypoints information that is supported starting from 1.6.0 version. The version is already under Apple approval recently.
Contact iSailor with the issue if it persists. Good luck.
1. Waypoints, the ability to add and name them. 2. AIS, allow AIS data to be displayed for surrounding ships. 3. TCP/IP communications for other NMEA data to display in the app. 4. Satelite overlays from Google. 5. MOB, man overboard feature. 6. Ability to add notes to charts 7. POI points of interest in the area 8. Tidal data and charts 9. Weather.
thank you Eugene.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at i-Marine Apps. I posted a comment to the author about this above. They do not allow creating waypoints yet but are working on improvements. In iSailor you can create a route to your waypoint using the Route icon second from the right. Just start tapping on the map to create points in the route. Go into setting with the far right icon) and Select Routes to view the Route. It does allow you to rename the route by tapping on the name field.
You have to buy the whole of Europe though which is not worth it for me when I just want a small part of Finland.
I recently bought an iPad and was able to Restore the charts that I had bought on my iPhone to the iPad. This is a great feature which allows to user to access purchased charts on both devices.
Sorry, didn't mention in my previous post that "Restore" button is situated in the Chart Store.
Thanks for the update! It is good to know your out there listening to our suggestions and working to make iSailor even better. Keep up the good work.
Please Android before we're brainwashed from Apple.If you buy Apple you're forced to "go to bed" with that company, so please let us have the possibility to choose:-)
Does anyone else have suggestions for apps with Saimaa charts on Android?
Sunday, January 2, 2011.
All the best, Eugene.
Thanks for the info.
I would like to see some improvements to the POI feature, such as the ability to create a new point based on coordinates (as pointed out previously) and showing the coordinates of the selected point live on screen during point creation. Also, it would be nice to have a seaparate menu item for POI's and the ability to use them for route creation.
Go to menu “Location”.
PS. The ability to add (and insert waypoints) exists!
Many thanks, Eugene, Transas Technology Ltd.
Android is now 3 times bigger than apple on phones and is about to overtake them on tablets. Android should be a priority for you given the market.
For sure we will continue further enhancements and new features are already in our plan since iSailor is a full ahead ongoing project for TRANSAS.
After using SeaClear and raster charts for a couple of years, I decided to try out the iPad for navigation. I downloaded iSailor and purchased the chart for lake Saimaa (Finland) yesterday on a whim, thanks to the free software and very reasonable price of the local chart, and I must say that I am very impressed.
If it contains only isolated geo points (waypoints, POI etc.) - those cannot be imported in 1.5.7, only starting from 1.6.0.
Hi! Sorry for the delay The updates for all the chart folios have been prepared however we just uploaded Europe and Asia only onto our servers due to enormous amount of chart updates downloads. Americas including Chile will follow as soon as the Europe pick value is passed, within the next week we will do definentely. Sorry once again for the delay and any caused inconvenience! Best Regards, Eugene.
Here is a list of additonal features that would be nice to have in iSailor.
Best Regards and Merry Christmas! Eugene.
The software is simply not finished yet. Regards.
thanks for this informative blog!
In Routes you can rename the waypoint and move it around in edit mode but you still can not change the coordinates by typing them in.
Thank you for your review. We are working on that.
Now in a new version it is possible to give names to the waypoints.
Many thanks and Best Regards, Eugene.
Thanks for the Christmas update. That will be a nice addition to the app.
