Argo uses the boat’s draft and buffer (margin of safety above your draft) to create safe color-coded routes for your boat. - Estimated Average Speed
Argo uses your boat’s estimated average speed to calculate an ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival)

- Buffer
The buffer is used to provide a safety margin above your draft for autorouting. Route color is yellow if within your buffer and alerts you that water depth is getting close to your draft. Default – 5 ft. - Height
Height is measured from the waterline to the highest part of the boat and is used to help navigate and alert you of bridges with low clearance. - Fuel Consumption
Argo uses your boat’s estimated fuel consumption to determine the fuel usage on a voyage or trip.
Add Affiliations
Add marinas and clubs that you are affiliated with in order for you to more easily find other Argo boaters with the same affiliations. This will help you find and add friends.
Set Up Your Interests
Choose from a variety of interests – ranging from fishing and water skiing to boat mechanics. Argo will use this info to find fun boating opportunities for you.
