Disclaimers
Please read the relevant section carefully before using any Portside app.
Portside
Nautical logbook for mariners · Navigation disclaimer
This app does not replace official navigation means
Portside is a personal logbook. It is not an Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS), an Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC) viewer, or an official navigational aid. It must never be used as the sole means of navigation.
Third-party seamarks and chart data
All seamarks, buoys, lights, Traffic Separation Schemes (TSS), and port-related information displayed in Portside are rendered from third-party sources — primarily OpenSeaMap, OpenStreetMap, and other open data contributors. These sources are community-maintained and may contain errors, omissions, or data that is out of date.
Unlike official nautical charts and publications, open data sources are not subject to the same rigorous quality control, hydrographic survey standards, or Notices to Mariners update cycles. A buoy shown on the map may have been moved, replaced, or decommissioned. A light may have changed characteristics. A TSS may have been amended.
National Hydrographic Offices / Admiralties
For authoritative information on buoys, lights, TSS, port entry details, and local regulations, consult the hydrographic office responsible for the area. Below is a non-exhaustive list of national authorities and their official websites.

Sea Wages
Wage tracker for seafarers · Personal record-keeping disclaimer

Data accuracy
All figures, balances, and totals are derived entirely from the numbers you enter and the exchange rates you set. Always cross-check your tracker against your actual payslips and bank statements.

Coordinates Converter
DMS ↔ Decimal utility · Usage disclaimer
This app is a conversion utility, not a navigational system
Coordinates Converter helps you translate between coordinate formats. It does not determine your position, verify accuracy of source data, or replace any navigational or surveying instrument.
Verify converted values
Converting a coordinate does not validate it. Always confirm that:
- The source coordinate is accurate and from a trusted source
- The converted value lands where you expect on a map before acting on it
- Any coordinate entered into official forms or navigation equipment has been double-checked
Not a substitute for professional tools
For survey-grade work, aviation, or any application where accuracy is legally regulated, use calibrated professional instruments and certified workflows. Coordinates Converter is a convenience tool, not a certified instrument.
Location accuracy
When you tap "Use my current location," the app reads your device's GPS value once, on-device. GPS accuracy depends on your device hardware, sky visibility, and signal conditions — the app does not improve or correct the raw reading.
Privacy
Coordinates Converter is fully offline. No account, no internet connection, no analytics, no tracking. The app has no internet permission.
No warranty
Coordinates Converter is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind. The developer is not liable for any loss, discrepancy, or consequence arising from use of the app or reliance on its output.
