All autorouting existing today can find a route from A to B only if they are both in open water, while good guidance and planning is most needed in cramped complex waterways with a maze of variables.
Head to the next destination with Dock-to-dock Route Guidance1. It creates a suggested route, from a real start point to a real end point, based on chart data and navigation aids.
What you can do
Plan your route
Choose your destination by selecting a point of interest, entering a lat/long or by tapping on the map. Dock-to-dock Route Guidance calculates a suggested route.

Automatic points of interest
On the Boating app, find points of interest (POIs) nearby the destination, like the harbor master, marinas and moorings, fuel stations, restaurants and bars, shops, taxis & launch services, repairs, and dealers. They appear automatically within the Dock-to-dock Route Guidance menu, complete with phone numbers and other valuable information like VHF channels for marinas.
