Savvy Navvy launched a chart annotation feature that enables boating instructors to turn digital charts into interactive learning tools that allows users to draw and mark charts, and save and share them with their network. The company calls it a digital-first alternative to paper-based plotting.
“We’ve been working with boating instructors worldwide for several years and developing features in the Savvy Navvy app to meet their needs,” David Cusworth, head of partnership and innovation, said in a statement. “Chart annotations enable instructors to transform electronic charts into a dynamic teaching tool, making lessons clearer, safer and more memorable. As more instructors embrace a digital-first approach to navigation, our goal is to provide the technology they need to make boating more accessible, safer and intuitive than ever.”
This year, the marine technology company has delivered webinars to hundreds of instructors across the United States, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. The chart annotation tool will go live to Savvy Navvy users worldwide this week.
