Marine radio for the iPhone: From Borkum to Bermuda: DP07 as an app

The DP07 service is now also available to customers via smartphone. There are many marine weather apps out there. However, this small programme can do more than just weather and offers some practical innovations: for example, the channel finder shows the strongest channel depending on the current position. As the finder uses the iPhone's GPS data for this, it works without any mobile or internet connection. Another practical feature is that if you have previously been outside the range of all coastal radio stations operated by DP07, you can be automatically notified as soon as you return to the transmission area.

An emergency call panel is also integrated into the channel finder, which establishes a telephone connection to Delta Papa and the DGzRS produces.

Anyone who prefers to have their current marine weather report read out by Captain Reiner Dietzel no longer needs to worry about the broadcast times: The programme archive lists all programmes from the last few days and makes them available to listen to.
