Change it to All to show all depths and you will then see all the contours and depths greater than 30m. Looking at the Tasman Sea I can see contours out at 4000m and greater. I hope this helps? Fair winds The PocketMariner crew ### 2/5 — Good *2026-06-23, version 5.5.5* Good but fails when in need, so dependsnt on internet and 4/5g ### 5/5 — Excellent sea Navigation app *2026-05-10, version 5.5.4* Excellent sea Navigation very useful ### 1/5 — Frozen / locked *2026-03-24, version 5.5.1* Installed yesterday, no way to undo some functions, now the app is broken or locked. Cant do anything just look at some strange screen. ### 1/5 — Difficult to use *2025-09-19, version 5.4.19* This app has a tendency to neil and dime you for everything, including all the charts do not buy ### 5/5 — Free to try, Easy to use and great price *2025-08-09, version 5.4.19* I have tried several marine apps and find SeaNav the best for ease of use and price ### 5/5 — Not picking up no Vessels or ship traffic *2025-07-13, version 5.4.18* I am not picking up no vessels or no ship traffic at all on this app and I just got charged last night another $30. Thinking about canceling this app ### 5/5 — Much easier to use and less expensive than Savvy Navvy *2025-06-11, version 5.4.18* I found this app much easier to use than Savvy Navvy. It has more features including a free SeaNav Watch app and is way less expensive for the charts I need. Charts for the British Virgin Islands were just £10. ### 2/5 — Nicht zu empfehlen *2025-06-03* Die AIS sind von MarineTraffic und die Seekarte ist auch nicht besonders gut. Wetter funktioniert auch nicht. 3 Abos umsonst.. **Developer response:** Hallo, wir bedauern dieses Feedback, das wir nicht verstehen. Das AIS stammt aus unserem eigenen Echtzeit-AIS-Netzwerk, das Wetter funktioniert für Deutschland und die Karten sind die offiziellen des Deutschen Hydrographischen Amtes. Könnten Sie uns bitte eine E-Mail an help@pocketmariner.com senden, damit wir Ihre Bedenken besser verstehen und die Dinge für Sie verbessern können? ## Frequently asked questions about SeaNav ### What does SeaNav do?
