WinGPS for Smartwear
Navigate on your Wear OS smartwatch
with WinGPS Marine Plus for Android



Navigation data always at your fingertips, without picking up your phone. The new WinGPS Marine app for Wear OS displays live data from your navigation system directly on your wrist: course, speed, depth, wind data, route info, and more.

Customize the instrument panel yourself: choose which fields you see and in what order. The compass screen guides you with vibrations and an audible signal when you approach your desired course. Alarms from your navigation system appear directly on the watch, even when the app is running in the background.

The app works on Samsung Galaxy Watch, Google Pixel Watch, and other Wear OS watches, and connects via Bluetooth to WinGPS Marine Plus on your Android phone.

WinGPS Feature Overview on Smartwear

The WinGPS Marine Companion app for Wear OS displays live data from your navigation system directly on your smartwatch.

LIVE NAVIGATION TOOLS

The heart of the app: a fully configurable instrument panel on your wrist. You choose which data you see and in what order – drag them to your preference.
Available fields:

• COG - Course over Ground
• SOG - Speed ​​over Ground
• STW - Speed ​​through Water
• HDG - Compass Direction
• VMG - Speed ​​Towards Waypoint
• TTG - Estimated Travel Time to Waypoint
• ETA - Estimated Arrival Time
• CTS - Course to Steer
• Depth - Water Depth Under the Keel
• Wind - Wind Speed ​​and Direction (Real and Estimated)
• Position - Latitude and Longitude

You also determine how many fields are displayed side by side: 1, 2, or 3 per row.


COMPASS DISPLAY WITH HAPTIMIC GUIDANCE

A full-screen compass, specially designed for use at the helm.

• Blue arrow points to the next waypoint
• White arrow shows the direction of your wristband
• Green arc marks the 10-degree "on course" zone
• Approach vibration: when you get close to the desired course,
  the watch will vibrate to indicate that the course is correct
• Audio signal at less than 3 degrees deviation
• Chart letters (N/E/S/W) rotate with the course - North always
  points to geographic north

ROUTE INFORMATION

Everything you need for active route navigation, clearly displayed
on one screen:

• Route name and destination
• Name of the next waypoint
• Distance to waypoint and total remaining route distance
• Average speed and VMG
• Course to sail and estimated arrival time
• XTE bar - when connected to Windows, a visual indicator that
  shows whether you are deviating left or right from your route
• Stop or change route directly from the watch
• List of recently used routes, instantly activated

ALARM NOTIFICATIONS

When an alarm sounds on your navigation system, it appears immediately as a full-screen notification on your watch - even if the app is running in the background:

• Color coding by severity: red (critical),
  orange (warning), blue (info)
• Clear title and message description
• Notifications are tracked in the notification list, so
  you don't miss anything

SIX COLOR THEMES

Choose the theme that suits the conditions:

• Night Bridge (standard, dark) - Night navigation, aqua accent
• Stealth Green (dark) - Night, minimal glare
• Radar Amber (dark) - Radar style, gold accent
• Red Watch (dark) - Night navigation, red accent
• Daylight (light) - Daytime, warm light
• Nautical Blue (light) - Daytime, nautical blue

ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY (AMBIENT MODE)

When you lower your wrist, the watch switches to a low-power display that protects your OLED screen:

• Compass screen shows only the course ring and CTS value
• Instrument screen shows only COG and SOG
• Navigation screen shows route name and current speed
• No animations, no unnecessary elements

CROWN CONTROL

All scrollable screens respond to the crown wheel or the rotating bezel of your watch, with haptic feedback at every step.


TWO DATA SOURCES

The app works with both the Android phone and directly with WinGPS on your Windows PC:

• Bluetooth - pair with the WinGPS Marine app on your phone
• Wi-Fi - connect directly to WinGPS on your onboard PC via UDP (in early development)

You choose the priority order yourself in the settings.


ALWAYS VISIBLE WHILE SAILING

As long as WinGPS Marine is active, a shortcut appears at the bottom of your watch face. One tap and you are back in the app, without having to search.

WinGPS Installation Tips on Smartwear

STEP 1 - CHECK IF INSTALLATION IS POSSIBLE

This is the fastest way to get started:
1. Open the Play Store on your phone
2. Search for "WinGPS Marine"
3. Open the app page
You will now see one of the following situations:

Situation A - Everything is in order:
Below or next to the installation button, you will see a second option such as "Install on [name of your watch]". Go directly to step 2.

Situation B - Only phone installation button visible:
Your watch is not recognized. Go to the "Having trouble?" section at the bottom of this manual.

Situation C - "Not available for your devices":
Your watch is not supported. Check the list under "Does NOT work on" at the top of this manual.

STEP 2 - INSTALL THE APP ON YOUR WATCH

1. Open the Play Store on your phone
2. Search for "WinGPS Marine" and open the app page
3. Tap "Install on [name of your watch]"
4. The installation starts automatically on your watch - you do not need to do anything else on the watch itself
5. Wait 1 to 2 minutes. Make sure your watch stays near your phone and that Bluetooth is turned on.

You can also start the installation via the Play Store on the watch itself:

1. Press the button on the side of your watch to open the menu
2. Scroll down to Play Store
3. Search for "WinGPS Marine"
4. Tap Install

STEP 3 - OPEN THE APP ON YOUR WATCH

1. Press the button on the side of your watch to open the app overview
2. Scroll through the list and look for WinGPS Marine
3. Tap on it to open the app
4. Start WinGPS Marine on your phone (or tablet)
5. As soon as the phone app is active and receiving navigation data, it will automatically appear on your watch

------
DID THIS STEPS NOT WORK?

The app is not in the list on my watch

Please wait a moment - apps can sometimes take 5 minutes to install. Ensure your watch:

• Is charged (at least 20% battery)
• Is connected to your phone (Bluetooth on)
• Is connected to Wi-Fi or stays near the phone

Does this not help? Then try:
1. Turn Bluetooth off and on again on your phone
2. Restart your watch (press and hold the side button > "Restart")
3. Try the installation again via step 2

My watch is not recognized in the Play Store

The most common causes:

1. Watch is not paired with your phone

Your watch must be connected to your phone via a companion app. Which app you need depends on your watch brand:
Samsung Galaxy Watch -> Galaxy Wearable
Google Pixel Watch -> Pixel Watch
OnePlus Watch -> OHealth
Oppo Watch -> OHealth
Xiaomi Watch -> Xiaomi Wearable
Mobvoi TicWatch -> Mobvoi Health
Fossil Gen 6 -> Fossil Smartwatches
TAG Heuer Connected E4 -> E3/E4 TAG Heuer Connected
Montblanc Summit 3 -> Montblanc Summit
Hublot Big Bang e Gen 3 -> Hublot Big Bang e Gen3

Search for the corresponding app in the Play Store, install it if you haven't already, and follow the on-screen pairing guide.

2. Phone and watch use different Google accounts

Phone and watch must be logged in with the exact same Google account (Gmail address).

Check the account on your phone:
1. Open the Play Store on your phone
2. Tap your profile picture or initials in the top right corner
3. At the top, you will see the email address you are logged in with - remember this

Check the account on your watch:
1. Open the Play Store on your watch
2. Scroll all the way down
3. Tap Accounts
4. Check if the same email address is listed here

Are there different email addresses listed? Then you need to link a new account on the watch. You do this via your watch's settings: go to Settings > Other > Google > Accounts. The exact naming may vary slightly depending on the watch brand, but the Google button is almost always located under "Other".

3. Watch is not visible in the Play Store

1. Open the Play Store on your phone
2. Tap your profile picture or initials in the top right
3. Tap "Manage apps and devices"
4. Tap the "Manage" tab at the top
5. Tap "Devices" in the top right
6. Is your watch in the list and does it say "Active"? Then everything is fine - try step 1 again.
7. Is your watch not listed or does it say "Inactive"? Then make sure your watch is turned on, is near your phone, and that Bluetooth is turned on on your phone. Then try again.

QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS?

Send an email to helpdesk@stentec.com containing:

• The brand and model of your watch
• The Android version of your phone (found via Settings > About phone)

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

What happens if I don’t upgrade my WinGPS (for Windows) to the latest edition?
Your license will remain active, but you will no longer receive updates. You can continue using WinGPS, but for your safety we recommend keeping the program up to date. This ensures that you continue to receive updates to the waterway network, bridges and locks, and, for Pro, Voyager, and Inland, also the latest Dutch tide data. In addition, you will benefit from program improvements and any new features.

How can I update my WinGPS Marine app for Android or iOS?
You don't need a Premium Subscription to update our WinGPS Marine apps.
For WinGPS Marine Plus for iOS, the following applies: you purchase the app once, after which you automatically receive all available updates, both for the app itself and for the waterway network.
WinGPS Marine Plus for Android is available as an annual subscription, which renews automatically. As long as this subscription is active, you will receive all available updates for the app, the waterway network, and NL-tidal data. Once you cancel your subscription, your app will revert to the free Lite version.
You can, however, opt for the Service Subscription. This subscription still provides you with exclusive discounts and premium helpdesk service.

How can I download the IENC charts for the Netherlands in WinGPS?
With a Premium Subscription, you receive free access to the IENC Update Service Netherlands. In WinGPS, go to:File → Properties → IENC Area and check “Netherlands.” These charts will now be downloaded and updated automatically whenever new data becomes available from the relevant authorities (an internet connection is required).
Via Charts → Chart Manager, you can select which charts you wish to display in WinGPS.

We recommend purchasing your Premium or Service Subscription first, and only placing your chart order once the subscription has been processed.

Complete your navigation package with charts and a GPS Choose the WinGPS version that suits your situation on board, or use several WinGPS versions side by side. To complete the navigation package you also need a GPS receiver and the maps of your sailing area. This can be, for example, our own DKW charts. You can use this on all 3 systems at the same time! Example situation: Plan the routes at home on a PC with a large screen, take these routes with you on a laptop on board and also use the charts on your iPhone and an Android tablet so that you always have a backup system at hand. The charts can be installed on 3 systems of Windows and Android. You also have 1 installation left for your iPhone or iPad. Chart overview

Hardware For positioning on your laptop or PC it is ideal to use a USB GPS receiver. Most smartphones, tablets and iPhones already have an internal GPS receiver that you can use to determine your position in WinGPS. Note that not all iPads have an internal GPS receiver. A wireless Bluetooth GPS receiver is then ideal for determining your position. Hardware

Navigate on your iPad and iPhone

Since 2019, the navigation program WinGPS is also available in the Appstore. In addition to WinGPS 5 on the laptop and WinGPS Marine on an Android device, you can also navigate on an iOS device!

WinGPS Marine Plus for iOS After the free app WinGPS Marine for iOS, Stentec releases the extended version WinGPS Marine Plus. This app included premium features and is developed for the iPhone and iPad. With WinGPS Marine plus for iOS it is possible to wirelessly connect your AIS device. This way you can see the AIS objects on your chart. NEW - Plot a route with single points on open water, or plan the route over the waterway network taking into account the bridges, locks and restrictions of the waterways, and the dimensions of your ship. Navigate the waypoints using the course line, Course to Steer and Distance to Go and view and save your route. For inland waterways you can put the app in course-up mode. Expected soon Now that the route planning has been expanded by combining it with the waterway network, this will be optimized in the coming period. After this, we will add GRIB file downloads to WinGPS Marine Plus, for example to show wind and precipitation on the chart. The current and tide information is also planned for the development of WinGPS Marine Plus. See an overview of all our apps for iOS here, including the latest news about them.
