SEAiq’s product is designed to download charts and other data products from the internet automatically. ECC/PRIMAR also include support for S-100 products, which we have not seen from any other chart producers, Hayden closes.

– We think the PRIMAR remote update service for downloading and updating charts is the most reliable and advanced one available on the market. Today, SEAiq support S-102, S-104 and S-111 download from PRIMAR’s server, as well as the long-standing S-57/S-63.įor Hayden, ECC and PRIMAR are natural partners for delivering S-100 products to end-users. Recently, SEAiq worked with PRIMAR/ECC on a project initiated by the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) for IHO S-100 series products. SEAiq have worked closely with PRIMAR/ECC for several years.

This feedback is a primary driver for our development, Hayden elaborates. We have a core group of “test pilots” who try out new features and provide detailed feedback. – We carefully listen to suggestions from our users, especially professional pilots. Pilots are very detail-oriented and use our product daily in demanding situations. We are lucky to work with a great set of pilots who constantly provide helpful feedback. – Most of the features are based on requests from our pilot customers. Hayden attributes much of their success to feedback from the maritime community. About 50 % of professional marine pilots worldwide use SEAiq Pilot. We make test releases about once per week and official releases every few months, Hayden says.Īnd the adoption of SEAiq’s products has grown considerably since its launch. It is not uncommon for us to provide a test version of a new feature within a few days of a request.

– Our software is developed to be readily extended for new features. Since its inception, SEAiq has continuously added new features required by pilots until they shifted their entire focus to their piloting product. Pilots were very interested in replacing bulky laptops with iPads since they often board ships on rope ladders any weight savings would make their job much more manageable, Hayden explains.ĭeveloped mainly by Hayden himself, with some assistance from contractors, the software was originally created for Apple IOS (iPads and iPhones) but is now also available on Windows PC and MacOS. Apple had recently released the first iPad tablet, and we found the early navigation app hard to use. – I started developing SEAiq while my wife and I were circumnavigating. Hayden got the idea for the SEAiq software while circumnavigating with his wife aboard their 53’ sailboat. With 40 years of programming experience, including a PhD in Computer Science, and several successful start-up companies under his belt – including one purchased by Hewlett Packard and one with technology licensed by Ericsson for use in their cell phone switches – SEAiq founder and primum mobile, Mark Hayden, was uniquely equipped to develop the innovative SEAiq software. In addition to the core ECS/ECDIS functions, SEAiq Pilot provides hundreds of additional capabilities mainly targeted at professional marine pilots, though other mariners also find them useful.
#SEAIQ FREE FULL#
SEAiq Pilot is a full feature Electronic Chart System (ECS), with a range of features that meet the needs of pilots, such as routes, NMEA/AIS support, docking modes, chart markup, record/playback, split window display and dynamic tides. We sat down with SEAiq founder and primum mobile, Mark Hayden, to hear his thoughts about the new S-100 paradigm and their cutting-edge, new software SEAiq Pilot. With the help of ECC/PRIMAR and our remote update protocol, SEAiq now offers a simple and efficient method for maritime end-users and pilots to obtain navigational charts and keep them updated with S-100 data automatically.
As the first to offer a product that supports S-100 data throughout the entire value chain – from production to end-user delivery – SEAiq is a true S-100 first mover.
#SEAIQ FREE PORTABLE#
SEAiq offers the most powerful navigation software available, designed specifically for pilots, and the only multi-platform piloting solution with support for all major platforms, pilot plugs and portable pilot unit (PPU) devices. Leading the charge is the innovative software developer SEAiq. As the S-100 era emerges on the horizon, promising to supply hydrographic and maritime communities with a range of new and helpful digital products and services, marine software developers increasingly strive to offer support.
