Contour Innovations is a mapping and geospatial software company that created the
LakeTrax platform, which powers Navico’s revolutionary Insight Genesis global
map-making tool. Navico has worked closely with the Contour Innovations team for
the past two years to bring Insight Genesis to market. To date, Insight Genesis has
provided innovative map-making tools to 146 countries.
Contour Innovations is also the creator of the innovative BioBase software and
service, which allows aquatic biologists, government agencies, researchers, and
others to implement long-term monitoring programs related to current and historical
