SignalFlags Tool – Get to Know and Use The International Signal Flags

Signal Flags

Feb 22, 2016

An app for smartphones and tablets with iOS and Android

• What does this flag mean? 
The international maritime signal flags represent letters and numbers. In addition to the letter these flags have further meanings in seafaring.
The appealing app SignalFlags Tool tells you the meaning of both a stand-alone flag in different maritime situations as well as the meaning of the flag in combination with other flags.


On the detail screen for each flag SignalFlags Tool also shows the phonetic name including the international pronunciation as well as the associated International Morse Code. By tapping on the Morse Code you can show the code using light signals. For all letters which are used as a sound signal you can also play the sound signal.

• You want to write using flags? 


• You want to decode a text written with flags? 


With SignalFlags Tool this is quite simple. And – unlike most other tools – when writing SignalFlags Tool uses the substitute flags in accordance with international rules, rather than using a flag already used one more time.

• How are the flags arranged for a dressing overall? 


The arrangement of the flags for a dressing overall is different in the countries. SignalFlags Tool shows you the arrangements used in Germany, the UK and the US.

SignalFlags Tool provides a responsive user interface, so that the display of your device is always used optimally – whether on a small or a large phone screen or on the tablet.


All flags are shown with high resolution details and textures.


An animated help function explains the functions of the app.


SignalFlags Tool includes all texts in English and German. If you didn’t set German as user language for your device, all information will be displayed automatically in English. If you like you can switch to German language manually.

If you’ve already had firsthand experience with a pontoon, you will easily understand the appeal of the Bennington 22 MSB. But if you haven’t, let’s start by reviewing a few of the reasons why pontoon boats have become top sellers in markets across North America.

Pontoon boats began in the early 1950s as basically four steel drums lashed to a frame. They were not unlike the log rafts of ancient cultures and not much more sophisticated at first.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
