i-Boating app continues to improve Fishing AI - taking in as many signals as possible to figure out where to find fish.
With Fishing AI enabled, the app shows your fishing break lines and fishing hot spots on the lake. The Fishing AI algorithm and predictions are continually updated as we get more data about the lake, catches on the lake, new structure information.
Its available on all platforms - iOS, Android, Windows and MacOS.
As our lake and catches data continues to improve, our Fishing AI keeps better and accurate in identifying fishing hot spots.
Fishing AI uses lake bottom topography, sonar imagery and several other signals to identify fishing spots. Here is a short youtube video describing how it works.
We are pleased to announce that the latest release of the i-Boating application includes support for lake temperature (Thermocline) maps for inland lakes in US & Canada. The maps show variation in temperature accurate to 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.5 degree celsius).
With the layer on, its easy to eyeball warm zones in a lake and temperature breaklines that tend to be very productive for fishing. It is available on all platforms (iOS, Android, Windows & MacOS).
You can also view lake temperature maps online.
We are pleased to announce a major update to our marine weather forecast visualization in the i-Boating app. The latest version support color shading marine weather forecasts into multiple zones based on safe /comfortable values customizable under settings.
For e.g. based on comfortable wave height setting, the map is color coded into multiple zones:
OpenLayers is an advanced javascript framework for manipulating geospatial data in the web browser. With our latest enhancements to the web SDK, the OpenLayers framework is now fully compatible with the Marine Charts Web SDK.
With the latest version, its as simple as the following.

var nautical_layer = blc_ol_nautical_layer.
}
);
No other changes to your OpenLayers project are required.
