Out there.
All together.

On the web, start the GPS speedometer with location permission and keep Gillby open in the foreground. Speed over ground comes from your device; weak GPS or an unavailable reading stays visible instead of becoming a made-up number.

The upcoming iPhone experience brings speed into a native boating session, with opt-in background and locked-phone tracking. Live Activities and Dynamic Island put the session within a glance on supported devices.

The upcoming iPad helm combines GPS speed, course, your boat and route controls in a larger display. Apple Watch adds a wrist-level way to check the water and speed where supported.

Use GPS speed alongside local speed limits, no-wake rules, your surroundings and your boat’s instruments. Physical-device testing is ongoing for native releases.

iPhone and iPad: native maps, GPS speed and course, route controls and a dedicated iPad helm display. Start with the web app today while the native releases complete testing.

WidgetKit: Home Screen widgets for your waters, wind, seas and marine advisories. iPad’s extra-large widget adds a six-hour outlook and shortcuts to Helm, Route and chat.

ActivityKit: an active boating session can show GPS speed on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island on supported devices. An unavailable GPS reading remains unavailable.

Apple Watch: a native companion for wind, seas, outlook and marine advisories, with GPS speed access where supported. Siri and Shortcuts actions provide additional ways into Gillby.

Device permissions, OS capabilities and GPS affect what is available. Native app captures show development builds; physical-device verification is ongoing and public releases are coming soon.

Choose an activity to put the relevant conditions first: a boat run, surf session and beach afternoon need different information.

Add your boat to put ride comfort in context. Choppiness describes modeled conditions for planning; it is not permission to run an inlet.

Keep official marine advisories, source times and missing data beside the forecast. A fresh page does not make every upstream reading current.

Use timestamped radar scans to understand observed precipitation. Radar shows what was observed, rather than a guaranteed future storm path.

Explore satellite imagery for coastal context, with its imagery date and source attached.

Read thunder probability, gusts and marine alerts together. An unavailable lightning feed never means there is no lightning.

Switch activity presets to bring the useful layers into focus instead of rebuilding your map each time.

Open a place for its local context, then check the surrounding water and conditions before making it part of your day.

Save the places you return to in your account. Listings are a starting point; confirm current access, opening hours and fuel availability with the operator.

Provide boat draft, air draft, departure time and your clearance margin. Missing dimensions matter; a generic boat is not a substitute for yours.

Review the shallowest reported point, passage status, bridge clearance estimates, weather samples and data gaps. ICW routing offers a different planning option where supported.

Treat depth estimates and grounding watch as extra context. Chart coverage, datums, tides and GPS have limits; verify with official charts, local information and your sounder.

Keep the measurements that influence planning in your private vessel profile. Recheck them when equipment, loading or your boat changes.

Use your saved boat with supported account and route tools after sign-in and explicit authorization.

Upload one to three reference photos to generate a custom boat icon. Photos are sent to OpenAI for generation; the generated icon is saved to your account.

Find a friend using their Gillby email or verified phone number and wait for them to accept the request.

Start location sharing deliberately, for a limited time. Choose when it begins and ends; being friends does not mean permanent tracking.

See sharing friends on the map while the service and their device provide updates. Location can be delayed or unavailable and is not an emergency tracking service.

Save your trip details, then recheck conditions and route constraints as departure approaches. A saved plan does not reserve a weather window.

Share a float plan with trusted contacts, see acknowledgments and record your safe return in Gillby.

Use the plan alongside your own communication arrangements. Check-ins are not an emergency service or a promise of rescue or automatic message delivery.

For offshore fishing, consider temperature fronts, water color, current and the ride out and back. For inshore plans, look at tides, moving water and nearby places.

For diving and snorkeling, review visibility estimates, waves, currents, temperature, reefs, wrecks and protected-area context.

Shark, jellyfish and other wildlife records are dated observations. They are not live animal tracking or proof that an area is clear.

Use activity context for surfing, paddling, kiteboarding or swimming. Wind direction and swell period can matter as much as the headline wave height.

Keep sample dates and advisory windows attached to water-quality results. No recent sample is different from a clean-water result.

Review environmental context such as algae reports, canal discharge and coral heat where data is available. Follow official closures, beach flags and local guidance.

Open a camera near your inlet or beach rather than assuming a distant view represents the same water.

Check the source frame time when available. A newly retrieved image can still contain an old frame.

Camera views can be offline, obscured or delayed. They cannot establish navigation clearance or show every hazard.

Use Ask Gillby in the app, or connect a compatible assistant to the public MCP endpoint. Public marine tools do not require an API key.

Authorize personal account access separately to use your saved boat, places and trips. Review permissions and approve account changes deliberately.

ChatGPT, Claude, Grok Bot and Muse marketplace listings are coming soon. Custom MCP setup is available on compatible accounts today.

Use the web map now to explore places, forecasts and Gillby’s available planning tools. A native Android app is not required to start.

Web location tools require permission and work while Gillby is open in the foreground. Device and browser capabilities affect GPS availability.

The native release has no confirmed launch date. Features and device support will be announced with the release rather than promised ahead of testing.

The integration is coming soon; it is not available in the current Gillby release.

Supported Garmin devices, connection methods and capabilities will be confirmed as the integration is developed and tested.

No release date is confirmed. Use the Gillby web app for the features available today and check back for release details.

Connect the Spotify app and your account on the playback device. On-demand playback requires Spotify Premium.

Use the device’s audio route to play through compatible connected boat audio. Gillby does not control your amplifier’s gain, EQ or hardware.

Public availability is subject to Spotify access approval and native-app release. The landing-page player is an illustrative preview.
