Anchor Alert App Quick Start Set-up Video

Watch this essential quick-start video to learn the key steps for setting up your Anchor Alert App with the DataHub. This must-watch guide includes:

  • Ensure your DataHub has the latest firmware by updating to version 4.52 or later.

  • Configuring your GPS Source to N2K and setting N2K Filters.

  • Setup of the app, including app permissions, account creation and boat parameters.

  • A tour of the app pages - Anchor Map, Dashboard, Alerts, Weather and Local Knowledge.

  • Configuring Alerts and customising alarm sounds, alert history.

  • Starting an Anchor Alert session.

  • Using the Anchor Map and N2K Data page on and off DataHub Wi-Fi.

  • What to know for Starlink and Peplink Wi-Fi.

  • How to snooze alerts while you're off the boat.

Note: The Anchor Alert app is designed to be used on a single iOS device with an active SIM card - this means a SIM card which can use 4G/5G data in your current location.

Alert sessions must be started, stopped, and modified only while on the boat and connected to DataHub Wi-Fi, or another onboard Wi-Fi network to which the DataHub is connected.

If you use more than one device or a device without an active SIM card, you may not receive alerts if you leave the boat.
