The harbours can be selected via a map, text search and proximity search
Tursejler is the name of the free harbour guide app from the Danish Sailing Union. In addition to the basic information, it usually also knows the mooring fee

First and foremost, the small programme available for Android and Apple devices provides a mobile version of the Danish Sailing Union's online harbour guide, with all the information and functions known from the network. However, as the data is only loaded when required, you need permanent Internet access via Wi-Fi or a mobile phone network.

The harbours can be selected using a map based on Google Maps, a text search or a proximity search. Pictograms with red or green traffic lights provide a quick and clear overview of the services offered by each marina. You can also find out the telephone number of the harbour master and, for many harbours, the current mooring fees. A nautical chart as a harbour plan rounds off the offer.

The app also offers the option of displaying your own location and that of other users. After registering, you receive a unique identifier that you can send to friends by e-mail. These identifiers can be used to query the positions of the respective users and display them on the map.
