Seapilot Marine Navigation App comes to Windows Phone

Seapilot is a popular marine navigational app, and it is now available on Windows Phone. Seapilot lets you navigate like a pro with vectorized S-57 chart data from National Maritime Administrations. Seapilot uses the Windows Phone built-in GPS to work even when there is no mobile network coverage.

This is the first navigation app to feature Automatic Identification System (AIS) and AIS weather in real-time, when within a mobile network.
