Dashboard

Your instruments, laid out the way you like them, on as many pages as you want.

Your instruments

Tap Dashboard on the Home screen. Each dashboard is a page of widgets: depth, speed, wind, the anchor, batteries, tanks, engines, pressure and tide, and more. Swipe sideways between dashboards, or tap the dots at the bottom.

A dashboard, with room for more widgets.

The buttons fade after a few seconds so the instruments have the screen; touch it to bring them back. Pull down to ask the boat for fresh numbers.

Note: Dashboards are kept on this phone, for each boat. Each person and each device can lay theirs out differently, and switching boats switches to that boat's dashboards. A boat you have not used on this phone starts with one empty dashboard. When a boat comes off your account, its dashboards are deleted from this phone, and if you join it again it starts empty.

Make a dashboard

  1. Tap + at the bottom left. A new, empty dashboard opens.
  2. Choose a layout: one big widget, two or three stacked, a cross, a grid, or Custom Layout. On a tablet there are Anchor Watch layouts too.
  3. The layout starts empty. Tap a slot's Add widget to fill it. Custom Layout has no slots: tap the pencil, then the small + at the top right.

Change a widget

  1. Tap the pencil at the bottom right. Each widget shows a pencil and a red bin.
  2. Tap a widget's pencil, choose its Widget type and Data source, give it a Display label if you like, and tap Save.
  3. Tap an empty slot's Add widget to fill it.
  4. Tap the tick when you're done.

The red bin removes a widget straight away, without asking.

In Custom Layout you can also drag a widget by its handle, and resize it from its corner, while editing. In the other layouts the slots are fixed: to move a widget, remove it and add it again where you want it.

Change or remove a dashboard

While editing:

  • The grid button changes the layout. The widgets on that dashboard are removed with the old layout, after asking.
  • The red button deletes the dashboard and every widget on it, after asking. If it's your only one, it empties it instead.

Tip: On the boat, turn on Settings › Keep the screen awake, and a dashboard stays on the screen.
