The NAVatHOME Australia mobile phone app was developed to both help with your theory course, and to provide useful tools that you can use anytime you are out on the water, and put your new knowledge into practice.
Now you can learn and rehearse the different scenarios and configurations without having to login to your course. Look through the flip cards from your phone when you are on your way to work, in your cabin at sea, or challenge your instructor on the potential different configurations and see how many mistakes they make.

- The height of tide for a particular time.
- The time(s) for a specific height of tide.
