Great little app

Lets you follow your progress on a map of the canal system with instant lookup on locks, bridges and other points of interest. Works really well.

Little, if any, useful info...

Site pins do not direct you to info a boater negotiating the canal would need - in many cases you're redirected to the website of a boat whose owners extensively photographed the canal. Probably interesting to an armchair traveler, but of little use to actual boaters...

Completely Useless😕

Title says it all....
