Top 50 Apps Similar to Anchor Alarm
Sailsafe. Anchor alarm. 2.0.4
Sailsafe is an application designed toincreasesafety in the anchoring of small and medium-sizedships.It lets you stablish a safety zone around your anchor andactivatean alarm that will alert you in case your ship leaves thatzone atany given time (very common situation when anchor driftingoccursor the chain breaks). You will be able to see where the boatislocated on the map at any moment, which is very useful if itisdark or visibility is reduced.The safety zone can be set just indicating a radius.In PRO version, you can also specify an aditional exclusion zonetodetect, for example, changes in wind direction that could putourboat at risk if, for example, the coast is positioned itselftoleeward.Sailsafe has been designed to maximize the safety afteranchoring.Therefore, once the alarm is activated, not only theposition ofthe ship is checked, but also the level of the batteryin themobile device or the state of the GPS signal. If any oftheseparameters fails, then the app will produce an audible alarmtoinform about the specific problem. Thus, after setting thealarmyou can relax and trust Sailsafe. It will be watchingforyou.Features:- It runs in the background.- Main screen shows useful information:1. Current position (latitude, longitude and accuracy ofthemeasure).2. Current security radius.3. Current drift.- Set graphically and easily a security zone with anoptionalexclusion zone.- Wind forecast included (48h). You will be warned if the boatisexpected to be out of the security zone due to a windchange.- The ship and the security zone are always shown over a mapwithoptional satellite view.- Once the alarm is set, you can adjust the anchor position incaseit is not correct. Just indicate the actual bearing (read itfromthe compass) and estimated distance between the ship and theanchor(surface distance).- Option to ignore the current volume of the device and set ittothe max when the alarm is triggered.- Option to set a minimum battery level. When reached, the alarmistriggered.- Option to allow automatic alarm re-launch after afalsepositive.- Option to keep the screen on while the alarm is activated.- Option to call a phone number when the alarm is triggered.- Remote commands:1. An incoming call from a defined phone will reset thealarm.2. Send a SMS with the word STATUS to the on board device anditwill respond with another SMS containing useful informationaboutthe location of the ship.- After a set number of seconds without GPS signal, the alarmistriggered.- Option to mute alarm tone after a set number of minutes (toavoidannoying pets in the boat if the alarm is triggered and nobodyison board).- Option to set the measurement unit (feet or meters).- Three modes of operation:1. Normal. GPS readings every 10 seconds. Simple algorithmtodiscard odd positions. (Save battery when the device isnotcharging).2. Fine. GPS readings every 2 seconds. Complex averagingalgorithmbased on accuracy and time of the last 10 GPS readings todiscardodd positions making the whole system smooth and robust.More powerconsumption.3. Continuous. GPS readings every 1 second. Same algorithm asinfine mode. Optimus for adverse weather conditions. Morepowerconsumption.4. Poor GPS signal mode.- When re-enabling alarm, if ship moved less than 150 meters,youcan opt between keeping last anchor position (useful after afalsealarm) or using the actual GPS reading.
