Keeping track.

We left Florida to go cruising in the Caribbean and had friends and family that wanted to see where we were. I, unfortunately, suggested this app and they all purchased it. Now it RARELY updates my position. For example we spent 3 days in a marina on Great Exuma and it never updated. It updated once when we were sailing off the north coast of the same island. Now after 4 days anchored 9 miles north we have not updated. Other cruisers in the anchorage are showing up. Keep in mind that we have brand new Vesper AIS and we show up on other cruisers Navionics and WatchMate consistently. Only answer I got is maybe we need to upgrade to “satellite version “. This is the response from tech support, “ The lack of Updated Positions of a vessel can be a result of a number of factors. Signal strength, functional transponder, local (vessel area) and surrounding (nearby stations) weather conditions, temperatures, traffic and the satellite constellation frequency are some of the most important ones. After checking on this further, I can see as well that your vessel is equipped with a Class B AIS Transponder. Please note that the above information is especially true for vessels equipped with a Class B AIS Transponder as their signal may be weaker.
Great app!

I love this app. I use it to follow freighters around the Great Lakes. You can even select your own favorite ships to follow. Five stars!
Not worth even downloading and I fish in Alaska

Thing doesn’t work worth beans without paying money at every turn it’s a joke I deleted it within a day
Awesome

Our son is a Great Lakes pilot and we can “cyberstalk” his boat around the lakes. If we time it right, sometimes we can catch him and take him a pizza or out to lunch.
Deceiving?

I downloaded this app to track my son who is a scalloped. It doesn't seem to work unless I pay the extra .99 a day for satellite. Seems to me they're must be a better way.
