So here's my take on Wavve Boating: Marine Boat GPS. I've tested a bunch of boating and navigation apps, and this one's pretty darn good. The depth charts, sea maps, and GPS features work really well, and it's nice having all that info in one place instead of juggling multiple apps. And the weather and traffic data could be better, but it's still a huge upgrade from paper charts. If you're an avid boater, sailor, or angler, I'd definitely recommend giving this a try. Just be prepared for the occasional UI hiccup.

Description

Been using Wavve Boating: Marine Boat GPS for a couple months now. It’s basically an all-in-one app for boat navigation, with nautical charts, depth finders, tide info, and a bunch of other handy tools. Pretty solid if you’re into boating, sailing, or fishing.

Here’s what you can do: you can access detailed sea maps and charts, check current water depths, track marine traffic, and even get weather updates without having to switch between a bunch of different apps. There’s also a GPS feature that works really well – I’ve found it to be accurate and responsive. And the boat ramp locator is super useful when you’re trying to find a good spot to launch.

Look, if you spend a lot of time on the water, you’ll probably love this app. It’s not perfect – the UI can be a little clunky at times and the weather info isn’t always the most up-to-date. But overall it does the job and is way better than carrying around physical charts.

just like Google maps, but wait you have to pay $60/year so nothing at all like Google maps.... *then maybe be more truthful in your marketing. again NOTHING like google...

Great app but... I'm not sure if the programmers have been boating? Traditionally boat speed is in knots and distance is in NM. Both these options are not available to...

credit card required for free trial, and no mention of this being a fee for service. I'm tired of dishonesty and lack of transparency wasting my time.
