This guide to the River Thames has been designed to be as intuitive as possible so does not really need a detailed Help section. Those pages that might require further explanation include context-sensitive help obtained by clicking the add_round_fill (below) then Help; similarly, explanations for various icons are explained by clicking the add_round_fill (below) then Help on relevant pages.
There are two editions of this App:
'River Thames Guide' is self-contained so does not need an Internet connection for the interactive map (but this makes it a big download). Once downloaded this version is quicker to use than the Lite version.
'River Thames Guide Lite' requires an active Internet connection to display the interactive maps so is a much smaller download.
Both versions require an Internet connection for river conditions, river restrictions and weather forecasts
The features and functionality of the two apps are identical apart from the Internet connectivity...
This is version 21.01 for tablet, smartphone, web and laptop

The information and guidance provided in this App is given in good faith and is believed to be sufficiently accurate for normal boating activities on both the non-tidal and tidal Thames, and the Wey Navigation.
However, an App is no substitute for proper and adequate training.
The skipper of any boat is responsible for ensuring that the boat is seaworthy and all necessary fuel etc is on board before starting any journey.
The skipper of any boat is responsible for the safety and wellbeing of all of his or her passengers and crew.
Please note that the speed (when available) is only updated every few seconds - this is fine for leisure boating but should not be used for any other activities.
