Marine Weather Forecasts at your fingertips
Wind strength 🌬️ and direction
Tap “weather” in the Savvy app to get a visual overview of the marine weather forecast, including wind strength and direction as well as how it will vary throughout the day or coming days. The colours on the display indicate wind strength. You will also see handy icons for weather conditions such as clouds, rain, sun and storms as well as a predicted temperature.
Marine weather map
An easy-to-use graph with a handy visual overlay lets you cycle see a moving wind animation, overlaid on your Savvy chart™. This provides a visual reference for the varying wind conditions throughout the day, with colour references for wind strength.
Use marine weather data when offline
Looking for an offshore marine forecast? Download chart packs before heading out of range of signal and Savvy Navvy will plot routes using the last available marine weather and tidal data. Just remember to update it once you have a signal again.
Tidal Streams in your pocket
Use data for tidal streams from over 8,000 tidal stations around the globe. Ever thought checking the tide was complicated and if anything a little daunting? Well, now you’re going to love it. Select the “Tides” icon in your Savvy Navvy boating app and then tap anywhere on your nautical charts to reveal data on tidal streams, showing the strength and direction of the tide for that given location.
GFS or ECMWF Mixed? The choice is yours…
Why have one weather model when you can have many?
People can be quite specific about what they want from their marine weather forecast. That’s why we give you the option to toggle between the GFS and ECMWF Mixed.
What is a GFS weather model?
GFS stands for Global Forecast System and here’s why it’s great
GFS is a National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) marine weather model. GFS is made up of four separate models - atmosphere, land/sail, sea ice and ocean models) which are conglomerated together to create a more accurate depiction of weather conditions.
We do so much more than boating weather forecasts - take a look
Record your track
Tap “Record” when you’ve planned a route and Savvy Navvy will record and log your route. It’s a great way to track your journeys and log your miles, share with friends and/or just use for bragging rights!
Plot a route
Using a unique algorithm Savvy Navvy saved your hours when planning your trip. Simply drop your start and finish pins on your Savvy chart in route mode. The app will then plot the best route based on marine weather, tidal streams, chart and boat data.
Share routes with friends
Did you plot a totally amazing route? Why not share it with friends and family using the export route function in the Savvy Navvy app? Not only does this provide an additional safety measure, by sharing your plans with someone on land, but you can also share your route with fellow boaters if you’d like them to join you - or have a friendly race.
Identify seagrass areas and eco moorings
We recently launched a campaign to help protect our seabeds. Savvy members are able to see the location of existing seabeds and eco-moorings around the South West of the UK in the Savvy Navvy app. The project will build UK-wide sensitive seabed data and then focus on European waters and beyond throughout 2023-24.
Export Routes
Plot your route with Savvy Navvy then export your route to a GPX file. This can be used with your onboard chart plotter for active navigation.
