PolarNav is a specialized situational awareness tool designed for professional ice navigation. It bridges the gap between high-resolution satellite imagery and the bridge, optimized for low-bandwidth environments in the High North.
Critical Warning
Secondary Aid Only: Do NOT use for navigation. Use official ECDIS/ENC.
Latency: Satellite imagery is NOT real-time. Ice drifts; conditions change.
Accuracy: Georeferencing of SAR imagery may contain offsets.
