Search Using Keywords and Categories

You can search for a specific place by typing its name and/or tapping on a category (e.g. boat ramp, dock bar, fuel). Scroll left or right to view Favorite Categories or tap Search Categories to view all categories. You can search single or multiple categories and you can use a few unique categories to refine your search:

  • Amenities for marinas and yacht clubs
  • Argo Partners
  • Rating (5-Star to 1-Star)

Argo will search based on where the map is positioned and will list the results by distance from you. If it’s not on the list, keep scrolling or search a new area of the map.

You can also tap on the Map View icon in the upper right corner to bring up the Map View of the top 20 results on the map. If less than 20 results appear you can tap Zoom For More Results. You can also move the map and tap Search This Area.
