What's New in BlueHelm Boating
2.0.7
August 30, 2026
The wind map now holds its colours as you zoom - the same water reads the same, wherever you're looking from. Sharper wind bands, with the chart still readable underneath. Shallow-water warnings now judge by how soon you'd reach it, not just how far away it is. Press any spot on the chart for its conditions, even water with no name. Also: a clearer base chart, correct map pin taps, saved trips open to the right trip, and depth soundings settle cleanly when you first open Navigate.
