• Does it work offshore?

  Absolutely! You can use savvy navvy for quick day trips, as well as longer passages. Having said that, our algorithms are currently optimised for passage plans of two to four days.

• Is there a chart key/legend?

  We use standard chart symbols to help users navigate the seas safely. These symbols are internationally recognized and used by mariners around the world. They are designed to convey important information about hazards, landmarks, and other features of the sea, such as the location of buoys, rocks, and other underwater obstacles. While the use of standard chart symbols is essential for safe navigation, it can also be challenging for some users to understand their meaning. That'sFew readers

• Why does it say my route will take years to sail?!

  “That can’t be right??” we hear you say :) It’s not, and it’ll soon be fixed. Let me explain why it happens. Today, savvy navvy assumes that you’re sailing the entire route. This means that if there are very light winds on that day (say, 2 knots) then if you were to try to sail you would move very (very!) slowly. At 0.0001 knots it would literally take you years to sail to your destination. Very soon you’ll be able to set a minimum wind speed for when you usually switch on your engine to motorFew readers

• How do I change the boat speed over the water in knots?

  The boat speed is determined by the type and length of the boat (which together dictate the hull speed), and obviously the weather.  You can change the length of the boat and the type under Boat Settings, which you can find under the menu with the three dashes on the top left side of your screen, like this: (https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/2d83acc5a122660Few readers

• What does "minimum speed to sail" mean?

  The minimum SOG your boat needs to sail The setting 'minimum speed to sail' is the minimum Speed Over Ground (SOG) your boat needs to have in order to sail. If the boat is moving slower than this savvy navvy will suggest you turn the engine on.  For example: if there's moderate but favourable wind, you might get a decent boat speed of six knots, but because of a strong current your actual speed over ground is more like three knots.  If you have set your minimum sail speed at four knots,Few readers
