Description

Pirate Buoy allows users to find NOAA buoys based on current location, current address, or specific longitude/latitude coordinates. Once a buoy list is created for a specific location users may view buoy data, map the location of a buoy station, favorite buoy stations (for persistence), and setup a "Buoy Call". "Buoy Calls" are notifications sent to the user (even when the application is not running) when certain user defined data criteria is met. For example, if a user wishes to setup a "Buoy Call" for BUOY_X when the wave height exceeds 4 feet all they have to do is setup this criteria under the "Buoy Call" setup window. The following data items are available under the "Buoy Call" setup window:

Wind Direction
Wind Speed
Gust Speed
Wave Height
Dominant Period
Average Period
Mean Wave Direction
Atmospheric Pressure
Pressure Tendency
Air Temperature
Water Temperature
Dew Point
Visibility
Tide (* Rarely available)

"Buoy Call" Notification update every 30 minutes.

Great for surfers, boaters, or general ocean enthusiasts. Enjoy.

Fixed a couple of reported bugs regarding preferences update and asynchronous dialog updates.

Comments on Pirate Buoy for Android

★★★★★ Working great, provides bouy information when conditions are above your preset, ie; wave height, tide info, etc. Nothing PIRATE ABOUT THIS APP, ITS JUST A NAME. App works while off, and using Marine Weather to monitor weather conditions. It WONT move to SD CARD. Small KBs, thats good. CANT COPY OR MAKE A BACKUP OF APP. Working great, being in South Florida, I have so many bouys out there, I monitor the GULF, Atlanta Ocean and the Bahama's water conditions. I'm Using a LG OP S (670 Series) ,Android 2.3.3. Try it for yourself and see, it works great for monitoring ocean conditions ie;WAVE HEIGHT, WATER TEMP, ETC, before you head out, or while you are on the water.

★★☆☆☆ Shows California only with no way to change locations. Even worse it claims I'm 50 miles from nearest CA. buoys when I'm in Louisiana.

★★☆☆☆ 3000 miles off GPS Shows 5 bouys in CA and puts me 3 miles from one of them. Only off by 3000 miles.

★★☆☆☆ Needs work I like the small size and speed. But saving favorites doesn't work, so need to do a search every time.

★★☆☆☆ Only USA?? There are only USA buoys??? .......
