Anchor Sentry 2.8.5

Anchor Sentry is a sophisticated application designed for maritime professionals and enthusiasts seeking reliable anchor position monitoring. The app provides real-time updates on the vessel's location at anchor, alerting the user promptly if the anchor starts to drag and the ship departs from its designated perimeter.
