Quick & Easy data mapper

This is the easiest app I’ve seen for finding and quickly checking data from nearby buoys. Works well - would love a watch app as well!

Works well

Interface is clean and easy to use. Would love to eventually see some additions like a ‘recent history’ or ‘favorited buoys’ for quick access to my regular spots.
