Great too to help you keep an eye on your anchor.

I had been using Aqua Maps anchor alarm, but recently switched nav apps, and lost that feature. After 3 nights using the free version at anchor, I paid for the full version. It has all of the features of Aqua Maps, is much simpler to set after anchoring, and seems just as reliable. I use it on my phone instead of my navigation tablet.
