User reviews

Great reference!

Always reference for marinas, moorings, and fuel.

No copy and paste permitted

Itโ€™s like one line of code that would take a developer 5 minutes to find and submit, but now I have to spend like 45 seconds going back and forth to enter coordinates I found in Skipper Bob book into Google maps. Unacceptable for a paid app.

Good product

Waterway guide is a good product, however their in need for a new design to navigate and locate information .

Couldnโ€™t navigate the Chesapeake Bay and ICW without this

We use Garmin and Navionics as we sail, but WWG gives us the best anchorages and ways to calculate distances easily. Love the reviews of anchorages and the alerts. Definitely worth the money!
