Just what I needed!

I used Wavve to navigate Okanagan Lake and Shuswap Lake in BC, Canada in a rented boat that had no depth gauge.

Once you get the hang of it, it works *great* — it was just what I needed:

- I downloaded the map for offline use because I wouldn’t have signal
- I viewed the map looking for shallow spots to be ready for
- I entered boat draft and expected avg speed
- I manually entered routes, and then looked at the time estimates
- And then I watched my progress along the routes live as I boated.

Outstandingly well thought out and designed.

Thank you!

Great App for novice boaters!

I’m on Lake of the Woods 1-2 weeks per year. This app removes a lot of anxiety for me as a minimally experienced boater. Especially regarding navigation and hazards.

I love this app!

I’ve been using Wavve for years and it only gets better. The charts are so easy to read and the autorouting is phenomenal.
I’ve tried all the nav apps out there and this is the closest thing to actually having Google Maps on the water! I also love all the community points and seeing other Wavve app users on the water, it really has started to feel like a community. I also need to say that their customer support is the best I’ve ever interacted with. They are so friendly and get back to you right away. I’m sure I will be a lifelong customer.

Not free

Thought it would be like Waze but no it’s not free and I don’t need it enough to pay.

Huge help navigating an unfamiliar lake

Very accurate course and water depth navigation!
