A better way to use OpenSeaMap
Pan and zoom smoothly, follow your position, and switch between clear light and dark map styles.
OpenSeaMap viewer for Apple devices
OpenSeaMap is excellent. Finding a clear, polished viewer for all your Apple devices has still been harder than it should be. Rivers & Seas brings the open nautical map to iPhone, iPad, and Mac—with your own places right on the map.
The open nautical map—without the browser feel
Rivers & Seas combines OpenSeaMap’s nautical information with the familiar OpenStreetMap base map. Channels, buoys, lights, harbors, and many other useful details appear right where you need them.
Pan and zoom smoothly, follow your position, and switch between clear light and dark map styles.
Roads, paths, places, and rich OpenStreetMap detail make Rivers & Seas useful during a stop ashore—or even when no boat is involved.
Add the places, photos, and notes that matter to you without turning the map into clutter.
More than an OpenSeaMap viewer
For marine and coastal areas, Rivers & Seas also offers a depth-focused map with color-shaded water, depth contours, and spot depths. Shallow areas stand out immediately while sea marks and current boat data remain visible.
The depth view is available for marine and coastal areas. It supports orientation but does not replace official nautical charts or safe navigation.
Places no map can choose for you
A peaceful spot, a tricky passage, or the restaurant for your next stop ashore: place a bookmark directly on the map and add a name, notes, photos, a symbol, and tags. Filter your places so the map shows exactly what matters right now.
Save it once. Find it everywhere.
Plan comfortably on Mac or iPad, take your places along on iPhone, and see nearby bookmarks in the compass on Apple Watch. Rivers & Seas keeps your collection in sync through iCloud—without exporting, copying, or maintaining it twice.
