Description
WaterNav is unique in that it has been developed so that you can access all date even without an active internet connection. (It works offline once the maps are downloaded)
It monitors you location using the phones inbuilt GPS, giving your precise location on the map. The maps display thousands of continually updated points of interest (such as pubs, shops, vets, diesel, moorings, etc), as well as all the waterway information such as locks, bridges, turning points, etc, and canal closures. It is the essential towpath companions for boaters, ramblers, cyclists, or anyone else enjoying the waterways.
The route planning options and enhanced options are available once you create an account (no charges or obligations) and with options of picking location, searching for a location or using your own current position it provides lots of flexibility. You can also chose journey times, lock delays and speed.
River Canal Rescue members will automatically be granted access to a special RCR interface that will offer exclusive features. RCR members will be able to access their membership details, see their RCR history, log callouts, book services, and request additional works. They will also be able to utilise a new arrival aid system which will allow them to track their engineer in real time.
The WaterNav App is in ongoing development (our inhouse developers will respond to all requests or issues - just remember it can take time to get issues updated). There are new updates and development of new features and we are resolving issues continually. ( so make sure you regularly update, and let us know if we can make things easier for you)

Ratings and Reviews
Very useful app when it opens
It’s a great app when it works, it often crashes on opening though which does get annoying, sometimes when deleting the app and reinstalling it does open. Running on iOS 16.5.1, if this glitch could get sorted, a satellite overview option and the ability to drop a pin like on google maps I think this would improve the app
Great for short trips
Great update & good for short trip planning like a lot of the features. But some tout planing needs work as often does not take the correct route atherstone to hawkesbury is only 7 hours ish 40 miles but kept going round Birmingham Warwick & rugby rather than the few locks .. kept up the work . Maybe add a via option
Horrendous UX
As a user experience designer I find myself so frustrated on so many journeys inside this app. The most frustrating is the ‘forgotten password’ workflow. You enter your email and there’s no button to submit it so it’s an impossible task to complete, leaving me permanently unable to use this as a logged in user. The select region button doesn’t work, the login pages don’t scroll, so when a keyboard overlays the UI it’s impossible to input data below the visible fields. I could go on, or if you have any UX jobs going I’d happily help you to solve these for you.
