4/5Love idea
Updated to latest version with eta. Seems to display info correctly but runs super slow and taps on options don’t respond. I am sure they will get fixed. Looking forward to using it

2/5Still needs improvement
Great idea but this still feels like a pre-release version. It doesn’t do simple things you expect. Like I set my home port, then when I went to create route, it doesn’t allow you to use the home port as a starting point (unless of course you go find it again, but then what is the point?) And this new update doesn’t show tracks, which I liked. It used to show tracks for the same route, and I do have the option enabled and allow boats of any length too. Disappointed.

5/5Getting better all the time!
I’ve been playing around with the beta versions for about a month or so now. Since my boat is out of the water, I’ve been “cruising” up and down the ICW using the Waterway Guide, checking Ditch Smartpath against Bob423 nav alerts. Amazing correlations. This will be a great tool to have on board next summer when I need some extra assurance.

5/5Boating Made Stress-Free
This app is awesome for boaters! It makes planning super easy with clear maps and smart routes. I really like that it shows no-wake zones, depth info, and even past routes so you don’t have to guess. The “Where to, Captain?” search is fun and helpful. ETAs are spot on, and I feel way more confident on the water. Totally recommend it for anyone who loves boating!

2/5Lots of Room for Improvement
It does a good job of showing AIS tracks on the chart. However it fails to actually follow those AIS tracks when creating a route between two points. Instead it just follows the shortest route seemingly, which might not be the safest. Also, unfortunately it lacks the ability to create a manual route with more than15 waypoints and whe you do create a manual route and try to export it, the app exports the route not as a single route but as multiple routes.

You'll see a new, streamlined interface and we also made behind-the-scenes enhancements for more accurate location and heading lines.
