The Dolink Interface

Discover each of the interface’s functionalities:

Geolocation

Find your boat on an online map at any time

Go online from a computer, smartphone or tablet, and visualise your boat on Google maps ® or on a simplified mapping.


This function helps you make sure at any time of your ship’s location, in order to control its whereabouts if you’re renting it out or if it has been stolen.


It also helps your friends and family – if you have allowed them to – to follow your cruises when you are sailing, reassuring them and letting them enjoy your trip vicariously.

  • Choice of mapping : Google Maps ® or simplified view
  • No software to install, all online use

Weather forecasts

Access the GRIB.us weather forecasts

Using the global weather foracasting data provided by GRIB.us, visualize on dolink.com and at any time the wind maps and weather forecasts (up to 5 days ahead) for the zone your boat is located in.


You can also set your Dolink account to daily and automatically send the Grib.us files for the zone your boat is located in to your email account. You can then use those files with your sailing software of choice (OpenCPN, MaxSea...).


Benefit from a year-round weather alert system: if a storm warning is launched for the zone your boat is located in, you will immediately be alerted by mail and SMS, thus allowing you to prepare additional protection measures for your boat.

  • Data source : GRIB.us
  • Data actualised every 3 hours

Keep track of your cruises

Replay your past trips at will

Your past trips are saved and can be accessed at will on the Dolink server for two years.


That allows you to replay them whenever you want to find your favourite itineraries again and share them with friends and family.


Group your various trips in the « My Cruises » tab. You can then access your positions between any two dates, or create a publicly accessible map for that duration.

  • An unlimited number of positions can be kept in memory
  • Use our simple and intuitive heading & distance calculation tool

Geofencing

Set up geofencing zones

Define a safe zone around your boat in a few clicks on the online map. If your boat leaves that area, you will be warned by SMS and email, which will allow you to react to the situation faster.


This function is useful in case of theft, or when you rent out your boat but want to restrict the zone it is allowed into.

  • A few clicks are enough to define a safe zone
  • Be warned by SMS and/or email when the boat enters or leaves the zone you have defined

Share your cruises

Open your cruises to your friends and family

One of the interface’s most popular functions is the sharing function. You can at each step of your cruise associate blog posts to your geographical positions, and insert pictures or videos with each post.


Set your account into “public” mode to appear on the community map, or open it only to your friends and family and send them an access code by email.


You can also follow other sailors’ public cruises if they are part of the Dolink network, or find other affiliated sailors in each harbor you want to discover or are about to arrive in.

  • Exchange with other sailors with just a few clicks
