About Aquarius ENC Plotter APK
Table Of Contents
Description
Navigate using official, free electronic charts intended for navigational use. Download for free over 1400 Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs) directly from NOAA, or supply your own S-57 compliant charts. ENCs from NOAA are intended for navigational use, and each downloaded chart is an official NOAA ENC®.Aquarius provides fast and efficient plotting of ENCs, on your phone or tablet. Multiple charts are simultaneously displayed for a continuous panoramic effect at all zoom levels.
Features:
- Display current weather and sea conditions. Data from National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) buoy stations.
- Display tide predictions and water level measurements. Data from NOAA's tide and water level stations.
- GPS location is plotted with a choice of three different modes: Fixed map mode, and two moving-map modes (north or any orientation up, and course up). Bearing and speed over ground is displayed. Turn on or off to save battery.
- Reconfigurable, resizable, re-positionable combo-gage for GPS information display, in analog and digital styles.
- Facts-on-the-ground verification. Display ENCs as an overlay on Google maps. Select road, satellite, or hybrid map tiles. See the "real life" details underneath the symbols, such as the apparent condition of boating facilities and other features, as of the date of the imagery.

- Verifiable data integrity. Downloaded charts retain their original file names and contents, and can be browsed independently.
- Fast, direct ENC-to-Display processing. After every start-up, Aquarius directly reads only the true, official, original ENC (S-57) files on your device's storage that you put there. Aquarius does not read a proprietary format or derived database. Aquarius is not a front-end for web-based tiled ENC imagery. This feature increases the reliability of the entire supply chain by significantly shortening it. This is the single most important feature the competition does not want you to know about, because it renders the middleman's lucrative niche obsolete.
- Advanced object query. Objects are identified and highlighted individually. Calibrated background grid facilitates measurements. Toggle between single-pick and cruise mode. In cruise mode, just pan the screen, and information for objects falling under the crosshair is automatically displayed, with lag-free responsiveness. Page through overlapping or coincidental objects.
- Set Safety Contour depth, and choose 2 or 4 colors for depth area display scheme. This critical feature lets you customize the ENC display to your boat's draft, to avoid grounding. The lighter-shaded areas on the display are "safe" areas for your boat. Depth soundings are also displayed, but the lighter-shaded areas are the key.
- Isolated Dangers are automatically displayed, using your Safety Contour depth setting.
- Lights overview. A concise wide-area display of all lighted objects (Lighthouses, etc), with visibility/range halo.
- Richer and cleaner detail. Chain-link style symbology for paths and area boundaries. Symbols don’t get distorted at corners, and jagged paths are smoothly interpolated according to zoom level.
- ENC update files are processed, for the most up-to-date and accurate chart display.
- Reads Inland ENC (IENC) charts, such as those from the Army Corps of Engineers (see screenshot with photo of bridge).
- Graphical display of chart catalog, for downloading and display. Download charts individually or by custom-selected area.
- Display only the charts you select, or let Aquarius automatically display charts as you browse.
- Charts reside in your own designated folders. Individual folders can be turned on or off as layers.
- Content is substantially free; moving-map modes for GPS, combo-gage, and Google maps satellite and hybrid modes are bundled together as a single purchase option.
- Built-in user guide. See videos on developer website.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
5 ★By far the best application ever for navigational reference (as mentioned in the app, not for pure navigation). Easy to use and download the available ENC charts. The cost for the upgrade is rather cheap, considering what it has to offer. Great work! (Suggestion for the developer : If plotting routes could be available, I believe it would skyrocket the application)
2 ★The app did not give me a top level folder view so I was not able to download charts to my SD card. This is a deal killer for me with limited device storage on a Samsung Tab S. I'm willing to update my review when SD card chart storage on my Tab S is possible.
3 ★Worked ok until I payed for it. After that wont display charts. Finally got it working. Sometimes still wont load.
1 ★Substantially misleading. Requires upgrade for satellite, hybrid and GPS. After reading the description twice I find it even more misleading. The developer implies that GPS moving map, satellite and hybrid are functional when they are definitely not. It is not until the very end is a disclaimer stated with the preface content is substantially free when it is actually not. There are far better free apps available with most if not all the functions requiring a $$ upgrade to this app.
5 ★Great ENC viewer. Functions offline. Same maps as used by OpenCPN, butbetter on android.
5 ★A couple of touches like selecting the target download directory (I haven't figured out how anyways) and plotting current GPS position would be nice.. But its an ENC viewer, and it works.. Why can't I figure out how to throw some beer money at you?
