Navigation using Satellite Imagery with SAS Planet - Ep. 35

We leave Lembeh Straight in Indonesia, and sail to another island on our way to Palau. Mark discusses how we use SAS Planet and other tools to safely navigate Field Trip to new anchorages.

I love watching your videos. It impresses me how respectful and kind you are to all. Thank you!

Thank You Kathy. We do our best to treat everyone with respect regardless of backgrounds or beliefs. :)

Have you tried Ovitalmaps app ? We used it all the time. You can change to different satellite imagery companies ( Google, Bing etc) to pick the best image. Also it will give a location and leave a track. We have sailed Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines . We find in remote locations the Chart Plotter and Navionics are inaccurate. The best part is you can download the places you are traveling to and use it off line. We have a Bad Elf GPS that bluetooths to our laptop or iPad for added accuracy when off line. Just and idea. You guys are great. Hoping someday to sail to Palau and Micronesia when things free up.

Wishing we went snorkeling there now.... We did our last dive for 2020 three days ago

[@mdsilvers]

What do you mean your last dive for 2020? Are you flying home? You can easily dive in Alaska!! :)

[@mdsilvers]

PS. The next two videos are all about you guys. They are the last two videos we have of you before our separation.... :)

[@Illimite]

The only dives will be whales diving! We are fair weather divers, skiing in WA might be in our future tho ; ) We miss you guys!!!

Is sas planet subscription expensive

[@mdsilvers]

Hello Simon. SAS Planet is free. No charge. You can google and find the link. I'll be doing a video specifically on SAS Planet and how to use with boat navigation in the near future.
