Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Headed In describes a boating app that shares a live trip map with family and sends overdue texts with the boater’s last known position.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-01 issue.

For: Tampa Bay boaters and paddlers sharing trip plans
Worth noticing: The page describes a first alert 15 minutes after the return time and a second, firmer alert 45 minutes later.

Field notes

The trip setup asks for a return time and a route in the boater’s own words, with examples ranging from a reef outing to paddleboarding near shore. The sample alert includes details a family member could relay to emergency responders, and the page advises trying to call the boater before calling 911 or the Coast Guard. The site says the overdue check is server-side, but the described service is presented as a beta.
