What’s New Version 1.6.2
New tools

Build 887654868v1.62026-07-01 04:38:10
New:
New Tools tab bringing together Anchor Watch and four new on-board tools.
Barometer: live air-pressure reading, a history graph, and a storm warning if pressure drops sharply.
Checklists: five ready-made lists (Safety Briefing, Anchoring, Charter Check-In/Check-Out, Abandon Ship) plus the ability to create your own with custom icons.
Nautical Information reference: signal flags, cardinal & lateral marks, ship lights, light characteristics, sound signals, COLREGs, distress signals, Morse code and the Beaufort scale.
Morse tool: flash SOS or your own text with the iPhone flashlight, with optional repeat.
Smarter anchoring: a reminder when your anchor is down, an automatic alert if you drift more than 200 m, and an option to pause/resume your trip when you drop and raise anchor.
Apple Watch: start a trip straight from your wrist, drop the anchor from the watch, a tidier cockpit layout, and clear "no GPS / no phone" status icons.
Faster big trips: merging, deleting and importing large multi-day trips now run in the background with progress, keeping the app responsive.
Track tab renamed to "Navigation", now showing your recorded data-point count; multi-day trips show duration in days, hours and minutes.
Five new languages — now available in 20: Slovenian, Polish, Hungarian, Albanian and Finnish.
Numerous refinements and performance improvements.
Build 887700195v1.6.12026-07-01 20:14:46
New:

- Redesigned Navigation screen — the trip panel is now a draggable slider you can pull down to reveal more of the chart, and it adds two customizable live tiles (Speed and Heading by default — tap to switch to Course, Avg Speed, Duration or Time).
Apple Watch alerts — reaching a waypoint or your destination now plays a chime in addition to the haptic tap.
Better map framing — your position now sits in the upper half of the map on launch, so it's no longer hidden behind the panel.
Performance & battery — lighter live-metric updates and instant deletion of small trips.
Polish & fixes — including sharper app icon and various small refinements.
