THE makers of The Fishing Mate App say it goes far beyond any similarly designed program for iPhones. Designed for Australian fishermen by Australian fishermen, over 3000 copies of the App have already been downloaded.
Features of The Fishing Mate include:
- Thousands of well sourced GPS markers, with information on what type of bottom, commonly caught species and best times to fish.
- Add new markers using your current position or using GPS coordinates.
- Attach photos, dates and comments to GPS points, record what you caught, where, when, and how.
- Shows your current position using the iPhone’s inbuilt GPS, and can direct you to a chosen GPS marker.
- Map view incorporates polygon overlays of protected fishing zones, not just a picture of the map.
- Marine Weather data linked from Bureau Of Meteorology, specific for regions
- Comprehensive guide to Australian fish, updated regularly
- App covers all of Australia
- Free updates with exciting new features such as drop pin function
Coming soon – The Fishing Mate online, a web service which will show your location to others, enabling posting of live messaging and displaying of images while out on the water.
New version soon to be released with updated fish guide and weather display.
