Android phone users: Fishing Maps Mobile is a full-featured offline navigation app for mobile available on the Google Play Store. Locate your position, track your trip, measure distances, drop waypoints, import GPX files, add notes to markers, and easily switch between and overlay FSLE, SST, chlorophyll, fronts, currents, and thermocline depth with markup that will show on all the maps.
I-Phone users: FSLE, SST, chlorophyll, current, and thermocline depth maps import seamlessly into the Avenza Maps Plus app.
