Purchase and subscription
Do I need a subscription or is it just a one-time charge for Seapilot?
The Seapilot app is free of charge and can be used with charts and all functions during a 36 hour trial period. After the initial 36 hours Trial period, you can decide to purchase a one-year subscription for at least one chart. The subscriptions are charged annually. Chart subscriptions are purchased inside the app (as an “in-app purchase”). The subscription includes official chart corrections for one year. Additional functions, or navigational tools : Internet AIS, weather forecasts, routes, marks and past tracks, import/export routes and NMEA sensor data control etc, requires a PREMIUM subscription.
Subscriptions are normally automatically renewed via App Store or Google Play. You can edit your preferences here:
Software updates (app updates) are distributed free of charge like all apps in the App Store and Google Play.
