- Offline maps can be downloaded by coastal region and show coastlines, ports, and seamarks without a signal.
Field notes
The described workflow groups vessels by sign-on session, stores vessel identifiers—including call sign and IMO—alongside rank, and sorts port history by latest departure, marking the voyage’s sign-off port. Users can download coastal map regions with coastlines, ports, and seamarks, then export or restore their log in JSON or CSV. Cloud sync is optional; the page also lists bonded-store accounting and contract-wage tools as coming soon.
