TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums British Virgin Islands Best phone apps for sailing?

We are packing for our trip and I was wondering what mobile applications people have found useful?

I'm looking for anything that will give accurate, up to date weather, perhaps help with navigation and I heard of one that would alert you if your boat moves at night.

What have you found useful recently?

Thanks!

For anchoring, I use Drag Queen and for live satellite weather, I use Radar Scope. Just fyi, if you're not on Wifi, Radar Scope uses a lot of data since it's a live feed.

For wind, windguru: http://www.windguru.cz/int/index.php?sc=58

For tropical weather: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

iTunes and "My Radar"

Navionics Boating, for charting/navigation
Intellicast for weather
Spotify for music
WhatsAp for messaging back home
If boat you are on has ray marine chart plotter, get the Ray marine apps to replicate the chart plotter on your phone
