Standout Features for Real-World Boating

Auto Guidance: Your Smart Route Planner

Input your boat's draft and clearance needs, and Auto Guidance plots a tailored path around shallows and bridges. It's like having a local captain whisper directions—perfect for first-timers entering New York Harbor or threading the Hudson's twists. Remember, it's a planning tool to complement your vigilance on the water.

High-Resolution Relief Shading: See the Bottom Like Never Before

Forget flat lines; this shading layers color and shadow to reveal underwater contours vividly. Spot drop-offs near Long Island for trophy striped bass or navigate Narragansett Bay's rocky bottoms with clarity that rivals being underwater yourself.

Depth Range Shading and Shallow Water Alerts

Customize up to 10 depth bands to highlight your safe zones at a glance. Pair it with shallow water shading to flag no-go areas in marinas or along Jersey shores—crucial for protecting your hull during tidal swings.

Ultra-Fine 1-Foot Contours

Tight 1' intervals paint precise bottom profiles, ideal for skinny water in canals, swamps, or packed marinas like those in Brick Township. Anglers love how it pinpoints structure for jigging fluke or casting for blues.
