I downloaded it but it got too hard for reasons I now don't recall. I use Boat Beacon which is much simpler and will log you from Manly to Mooloolooba. It was recommended by the radio room at MBTBC who monitor the coast guard radio week days.
how does this app work? ive read about it just now and it says it relies on an internet connection or gsm coverage. does it not use the devices gps? if it needs internet then its a bit limited.
DAMA said..Has anyone tried the Coastgaurd tracking app?
looks like it might be alright ,even for just tracking for family and friends , if you don't want to fork out the dollars for a yellow brick or similar.
Would be interested to hear if anyone had used it yet.appears you would need to stay in reception range.
coastguard.com.au/safetrx/ just tried to use this. got stuck at "donator number" which is the last question when signing up. Too hard! wont let me go on any further.
deleting the app now!
