 Do you know that the  i-Boating app  includes detailed under water relief imagery for Florida reefs?

The Relief layer clearly shows the under water structure for the reef. Here is what it looks like.


Simply enable the relief layer in the i-Boating app.
Here is a youtube tutorial video we have created that shows how to enable relief layer in the i-Boating app.
