SafeTrx

SafeTrx is a comprehensive mobile application designed to offer peace of mind to maritime enthusiasts. It provides a platform for users to easily register their vessels, plan, and track their journeys right from their smartphones. This platform is particularly invaluable for ensuring safety during maritime trips.

Once you've set up your account, SafeTrx allows you to select between two main operational modes. The 'Sail Plan' mode is ideal for users who wish to file a detailed trip plan – this encompasses choosing the vessel, establishing an end destination, estimating the time of arrival (ETA), and inputting the number of people on board and the type of activity. Additionally, users can mark waypoints and launch their journey directly from the game.

Alternatively, if you require simple trip monitoring without the prerequisites of a sail plan, the 'Track Only' mode starts tracking with just a tap, conserving your device's battery life by adjusting the reporting interval. In either mode, key details are sent to the server at regular intervals, and if your journey exceeds your planned ETA, emergency contacts are automatically notified.

The platform also facilitates an emergency or assistance call feature, ensuring users can reach out for help rapidly when necessary. Other notable features include the ability to manage your profile, vessel, checklist, and emergency contacts seamlessly. Maritime safety information can be accessed online and offline to prepare thoroughly for your adventures. Moreover, the integrated 'Explorer' tool provides useful information about nearby lifeboat stations and VHF channels.

Additionally, it incorporates a Mobile Logbook that can store up to 20 trips, offering the added benefit of trip replay through a video playback mode. It hosts a personalized checklist that can be included as part of your Sail Plan, ensuring thorough preparedness for every voyage.

Users must be aware that while it offers significant benefits for maritime journey planning and safety, it should not be solely relied upon in emergency situations. The GPS-based services are subject to the reliability of mobile devices and network connections. It is essential to complement the functions with knowledge, skills, and additional reliable third-party resources to ensure the utmost safety at sea.
