⚠ Why We Don’t Use Google or Apple Routing

These apps are for roads, not oceans. Marine navigation requires charts, local knowledge and open-water routing.

Arrive in time, not just on time. ⚓ Better Information ☸ Better Decisions lighthouse Better Adventures
Important Design Principle

Launch Now. Improve With Local Knowledge.

The Fishing Grounds Viewer is designed to work immediately and improve over time.

Not every fishing ground requires:
  • exact drift data
  • exact zone radius
  • complete annotations

The geometry system itself already provides substantial value.

What Makes This Different

Not Just Location — Relationship to Departure.

Traditional marine maps show location only
WayTiming Fishing Grounds shows relationship to departure
This creates clearer understanding of:
  • travel
  • direction
  • distance
  • timing
  • marine positioning
