UK NEWS RYA SAFETRX APP
SafeTrx Communicator: Install the RYA SafeTrx Communicator instant messaging application so that the HM Coastguard can communicate directly with you in the case of an emergency. Social Sharing: Give friends and family peace of mind ashore by sharing your real-time location with on a live map, and allow them track you while you’re on the water. Community Net: RYA SafeTrx gives you the option of sharing your current location with other RYA SafeTrx water users when you have a trip in progress. Should you need to contact HM Coastguard for help, the Operator can send a message via the RYA SafeTrx app to other vessels in a geo-fenced area to ask them for their assistance. Boaters that have accepted the request from the HM Coastguard
will be able to see the location of the vessel in distress on the app so that they can provide assistance. Enhanced User Experience: RYA SafeTrx 2017 also has a number of user experience improvements to make it an even easier app to use.
• You now have the ability to select a subset of emergency contacts to communicate with when starting a Sail Plan trip.
• We’ve added ‘Force Touch’ functionality to iOS 7 devices so that end users can quickly initiate an emergency call, a Sail Plan trip or Track Only mode trip at the touch of a button.
• Improved notifications means that you now get more noticeable alerts from the RYA SafeTrx message centre.
