Just like on other navigational apps, you can choose from different map types (Standard, Satellite, Terrain or NOAA ENC). Core app functionality is the same across all map types. The Canadian ENC data is integrated into the Standard view.

If using the Standard map type, you can choose what mode you want – Auto, Day or Night. Using Auto will automatically switch the map to dark mode at night and light mode during the day.

Tap the Depth Shading color palette to open the Depth Shading screen. From there you can customize the color shading, depth contours and transparency level to suit your boating preferences! Adjusting the transparency level will allow you to see more of the bottom terrain when in satellite view.

You can select up to 9 different depths to display your preferred color shading and contour lines. For recreational boaters this will help more clearly highlight shallow areas, and for fisherman it will highlight depth contours that you are most interested in.

Choose Navigation Controls from main Map Options screen to filter various gauges/buttons on and off on your map. These include Depth Gauge, Speedometer, Gauge Size, Compass, Coordinates, Scale & Zoom Controls.

Coordinates provides you with your current location at all times.

Hint: You can also tap the Depth Gauge or Speedometer on the main map to access these screens.

Choose Depth from the Navigation Controls screen. You can also get to this screen by tapping the Depth Gauge from the main map.

Here you can turn the Depth Gauge on/off, access Depth Shading and change the unit of measurement for depth.

The depth are based on based on data from NOAA, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) and other hydrographic sources.

Hint: If you would like to find the depth at any one spot simply do a long press and hold on that location.

Choose Speed from the main Map Options screen. You can also get to this screen by tapping the Speedometer on the main map.

Here you can choose whether you want the speedometer displayed on your map. You can also set the unit of measurement you want the speedometer to display your speed in.

Choose Boaters from the main Map Options screen to customize which Argo users you see on your map. Boaters must be on the water to be visible. And by default only active boaters (app running) are shown so long as they aren’t in private mode. They will have a blue ring around their icon if active and a directional pointer if moving.

To see all boaters (active or not) turn this toggle off. It will display non-active boaters at their last known location on the water for up to 30 days.

You can toggle Ambassadors or Other Boaters off to hide them from your map.

You can also use Filter by group or Filter by affiliation to display only those users that are members or affiliated with a certain group, marina and/or club. Those users with the same group will appear with a green badge on their map profile icon. Those users with the same affiliation as you will have a green border on their map profile icon.

Learn more about who you can see on your map.

Here you can toggle on and off the routes and tracks being displayed on the map using the On Map feature. It will also indicate for you how many of these are being displayed on the map.

Routes are displayed as a thin black line and tracks are added as a thin white line (or whatever color you are display your tracks).

To add or remove any routes/tracks being displayed you must use the On Map feature within the Captain’s Log.

The On Map feature is ideal for a return trip home, for displaying imported Bob423 tracks along the ICW or adding a friend’s track that they shared with you.
