A new app that allows you to see where friends and family are out on the water has been launched by marine technology startup Swell Advantage. The app, launched last month, is compatible with iOS and can be downloaded from the app store for free.
The Swell Advantage app allows people to see where others are on the water, see when friends #8203;get onto their boats, and gives family members peace of mind by allowing them to track their loved ones.
Boaters? locations are hidden while on land, and users can turn off the ability to be seen by their friends while on the water.
If I get the app, will I be able to tell where you are fishing?

Sooooo once you lose cell signal it is useless?
I don’t know…I would imagine so…unless there is some way to use GPS
Nice app. I hope an app will be designed with a GPS transmit unit attached to the boat/car so the user can tell where the boat is at all times. Kind of like a LOJAK/safety unit.
I’m pretty sure we’ll have something like that within a few years. The technology is already in place.

If you can track a hunting dog with a GPS collar and a smart phone, there is no reason why you couldn’t track a boat. Just put the collar on the boat.

Good idea! I didn’t know that existed since I’m not a hunting dog person. Thanks

They make boat security devices that send you a text message when the boat is disturbed any. I guess it senses vibration. That way you know if someone even climbs in your boat. Also has a GPS tracker that sends you info if it moves as well as real time location
Had one on my bobcat and backhoe!, Wish I had had one on my 30 ton tra. and truck!
