BELCAMP, MARYLAND – February 11th, 2026: Argo Navigation today announced its acquisition of SpotOn Fishing, a fishing-focused app known for its industry-leading map detail and advanced weather visualization.
The move expands Argo’s mapping capabilities, giving users access to high-resolution bathymetry, detailed 3D structure views, and advanced weather overlays, including radar, lightning strikes, wind, currents, and sea surface temperatures. Together, these tools help boaters and anglers better understand on-water conditions and make more informed decisions before and during a trip.
SpotOn Fishing has built inshore, offshore, and freshwater maps using highly accurate bathymetric data that reveals underwater structure with exceptional clarity. These maps highlight depth changes, contours, and bottom features in far greater detail than traditional nautical charts, making it easier to explore new areas and plan productive routes.
SpotOn’s advanced weather layers add real-time and frequently updated data directly to the map, allowing users to visualize changing conditions such as storms, wind shifts, currents, and temperature patterns without switching between tools or apps.
“This acquisition is about giving boaters a clearer picture of what’s happening above and below the water. By combining SpotOn’s exceptional map detail and weather visualization with Argo’s intelligent routing, we’re helping users make better decisions—before they leave the dock and while they’re underway,” said Jeff Foulk, Founder of Argo Navigation.
Additionally, Argo will bring its industry-leading autorouting technology to SpotOn Fishing. Argo’s routing delivers fast, accurate routes based on vessel draft, height, and navigational constraints. The result will be a smarter, safer navigation experience for SpotOn users heading to their fishing destinations.
“SpotOn Fishing and Argo bring together industry-leading map detail and intelligent navigation to redefine the on-water experience,” said Nick Gaffney, CEO of SpotOn Fishing. “This partnership unites proven platforms and years of cross-market expertise to deliver faster innovation and more powerful tools for boaters everywhere.”
SpotOn Fishing will continue to operate as a standalone app as its mapping and weather capabilities are integrated into the Argo platform, while Argo’s industry-leading autorouting technology is introduced within SpotOn. Over the coming months, users across both platforms will gain access to expanded features—including detailed bathymetry, relief shading, weather layers, community routes, enhanced chat tools, and advanced autorouting—delivering a smarter, more connected navigation experience for boaters everywhere.
