What B&G: Companion App for Sailors Is Used For

B&G: Companion App for Sailors appears to be a marine navigation app for sailors who want to plan trips, view charts, and use navigation tools on a phone. Based on the metadata, it is meant to work with B&G chartplotters as well as as a standalone app, so it may be useful both for preparing routes on shore and checking navigation details while on the water.

The app seems focused on sailing-related trip planning and situational awareness. It includes chart viewing, route planning, waypoint marking, track recording, weather information, and marine traffic data. The location permissions, Bluetooth access, and network permissions suggest it may use GPS positioning, connect with onboard devices, and update chart or weather information over the internet. Its mention of offline chart downloads also suggests it can help users review routes when connectivity is limited.

For sailors, the app may be used to register and connect a chartplotter, review marinas and points of interest, measure distance, and import or export GPX files. Overall, it appears aimed at everyday cruising and racing use, especially for people already using B&G marine electronics.
