The Marine Department (MD) announced today (January 2) that a new mobile application, "eSeaGo", has been launched to display chart information on Hong Kong waters free of charge.
The "eSeaGo" app offers simple and convenient access. Users can download the chart information provided by the Hydrographic Office of the MD via the app. With the mobile device's positioning function, "eSeaGo" will assist sailing in Hong Kong waters. Meanwhile, the information provided on "eSeaGo" can also be read in an offline mode.
The "eSeaGo" app provides content and information in raster images which should not be used as a substitute for paper nautical charts or electronic navigational charts. The "eSeaGo" app is not designed to be used for navigational purposes or as a substitute for any navigational equipment that is required under applicable regulations or laws.
The "eSeaGo" app is available free of charge for Android and iPhone by downloading from Google Play and the App Store respectively. The app provides Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and English versions. For more information about other functions of "eSeaGo", please visit www.hydro.gov.hk/eng/eseago.php.
