What is WatchMate?

The WatchMate App is a mobile application that connects with the Vesper Marine AIS Transponder to provide remote control functionality and situational awareness on your iPhone or iPad. It serves as the user interface for configuring and controlling the Vesper Marine AIS Transponder, especially in cases where it does not have its own display.



Software Features and Description

1. The WatchMate App connects with your Vesper Marine AIS Transponder to place remote control functionality and situational awareness in the palm of your hand on your iPhone or on your iPad.

2. The WatchMate App becomes the user interface for configuring and remote control of your Vesper Marine AIS Transponder, especially where it does not have its own display such as the Vesper Marine XB-8000.

4. - View AIS Targets received by your Vesper Marine AIS Transponder.

5. Note: iPhone4 devices will need a transponder firmware update first to be able to reliably perform firmware upgrades.

6. Although we think the WatchMate App is awesome nothing beats using all your human senses, so best you still rely on these at least as much as you rely on the WatchMate App for making navigational safety decisions.

7. Connects to your WatchMate device's WIFI access point or by being on the same wifi network.

8. Our advice is; even with the WatchMate App it’s still a clever idea to maintain a permanent watch and use more than one aid for navigation.

Top Pcmac Reviews

  • Must-own app for VesperMarine AIS!

    By Bob Muir (Pcmac user)

    If you own a VesperMarine AIS, then you'll want this app on your phone/pad. My this app Vision is down at the navstation because I didn't want that many more wires being routed through the binnacle. This app makes it easy to use the new anchor watch system when dropping the anchor.
  • Great update

    By mschulz (Pcmac user)

    The addition of the plotter view took this app from merely useful to fantastic. Now it functions as a great backup to the chartplotter while at sea.
