Bill, There is an IOS app, Boat Monitor that does this. It will also send email or SMS alerts (assuming you have one device on board / one with you ashore). I used it a couple of years ago when we were eating ashore and expecting a major wind shift in the anchorage. It helped me relax and enjoy my lunch.
