Aweigh has been initially designed for use on and around the Norfolk Broads.
Thousands of people enjoy the UK waterways throughout the year. Aweigh is here to support the public when help is needed, whether for health and safety or to report incidents in these beautiful environments.
Now in 5 sections, it is designed to provide the user with valuable information whilst on and around the water.
Mapping and Speed
The mapping element of the application shows the user their current location and speed they are traveling. This can be especially useful for users that are unsure of their speed and can help protect the local wildlife and avoid a large fine of thousands of pounds.
A new addition to this section shows free mornings, electric charge points, slipways and cranage and bridge pilot information
Explore
The newest of our sections allows the public to look at their journey ahead and see local attractions and businesses that await them. This section is currently in early stages, so we are looking for businesses to list in the directory for a small fee and help the aweigh app remain free for the public to use.
Tides
See the current tide status for your location. Ability to select any other listed tide location.
Sunrise and sunset times for that day.
Help
Crucial numbers in case of emergency. The Help page gives users one click call options for the emergency services, broads authority or Environment agency. Report incidents or call for help.
See your current Longitude and Latitude values to pass to the emergency services to pinpoint your location.
