What Are Private Waypoints?

Imagine marking the very coordinates where you hooked that elusive trophy fish, or where the one that got away slipped the hook. Picture noting down the ideal sheltered nook where you found respite, or the shoreline where the fish dance close to the surface. And let’s not forget the convenience of knowing exactly where to park your vehicle for a seamless fishing day.

Waypoints are markers on a map, functioning as digital journal entries exclusively available to VIP subscribers. Waypoints enable anglers to review past fishing experiences, analyze successes and failures, and maintain a comprehensive record to enhance their angling performance in future outings. Best of all, Waypoints are private to you.

A progress circle will appear, and when it completes your Waypoint marker will drop onto the map. From here you will be prompted to populate details surrounding your Waypoint.

Sorting Waypoints

In the world of navigation and route planning, sorting and filtering Waypoints can be a game-changer.
