We remind you that the Watchmate XB-8000 is not only an AIS/GPS but also a Wi-Fi router capable of redirecting all NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 information to smartphones and tablets in order to use all the most popular navigation apps. While the Watchmate app brilliantly provides all AIS features.

Vesper Marine has really simplified navigation through its AIS technologies, today all these features are also available on your Android device.

The new app, just like the iOS version, includes the exclusive Instant Target Acquisition feature. In fact, unlike other software, which can take several minutes to show AIS target information, the WatchMate app shows all relevant information as soon as it is started.

Simply touch a target on the screen and the app draws a vector line with a lot of useful information to avoid collision.

You can set a large number of filters and alarms. Alarms will be reported even if the app is in the background, in fact they will be highlighted by the notification bar at the top of the screen of your Android devices.
