We are actively working to expand worldwide coverage to include additional regions such as the Pacific, Indian Ocean, South America, and Asia-Pacific. Stay tuned for updates as we grow our global network of maritime safety information. ### Safety Notice This feature provides maritime warnings and weather bulletins **for informational purposes only**. Availability of these warnings within the app does not relieve Masters or Captains of the obligation to receive official Navigational Warnings via IMO/IHO-approved broadcast systems. Always consult official sources, maintain proper watch procedures, and use approved navigational aids and communication systems while at sea. SailAlign is a supplementary tool designed to enhance situational awareness but should never be relied upon as the sole source of maritime safety information. ## What is NavTex? **NavTex** (Navigational Telex) is an international automated medium-frequency radio system for broadcasting maritime safety information, including navigational warnings, weather forecasts, and urgent marine safety messages to vessels at sea. SailAlign makes this critical information accessible in a visual, easy-to-understand format - so you can quickly check for warnings relevant to your sailing area without needing specialized radio equipment or training. ## Open the Live Maritime Warnings Map in the App Download SailAlign to access real-time navigational warnings and maritime safety alerts on your device [Download on App Store](https://apps.apple.com/app/sailalign/id6743765668) [Get it on Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sailalign.app) ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Do I need a NavTex receiver to use this feature? No. SailAlign aggregates and displays maritime safety information directly in the app, so you don't need specialized radio equipment or training to access navigational warnings and weather bulletins. ### How often are the warnings updated? Maritime warnings are refreshed regularly throughout the day to ensure you have access to the latest safety information, including new warnings and cancellations. ### Can I view warnings offline? Yes. Previously loaded bulletins are cached locally on your device, so you can review them even when offline. However, you'll need connectivity to receive new warnings and updates. ### Which regions are currently covered? We currently provide coverage for Europe, North America, Australia and the Indian Ocean, including the Mediterranean, Atlantic, North Sea, Caribbean, and US coastal waters. We're actively expanding to additional regions worldwide. ### Is this a replacement for official maritime broadcast systems? No. This feature is a supplementary tool for informational purposes. Masters and Captains are still obligated to receive official Navigational Warnings via IMO/IHO-approved broadcast systems while at sea.
