USA & CANADA - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Fishbrain, a leading fishing app and community which has just surpassed 13 million users, today announces a significant update to its mobile application, with the integration of advanced HD bathymetry maps powered by Garmin-owned brand, Navionics. As one of the leading electronic navigation companies, Navionics will supply Fishbrain with cartographic intelligence and data, which will be offered as a premium add-on feature to Fishbrain Pro users in the USA and Canada.

In addition to being a personal fishing logbook, forecasting tool and fishing gear marketplace, Fishbrain also provides its users with detailed interactive maps for bodies of water, through which users can access free information including fish species, top baits, local fishing areas and reviews. With a Fishbrain Pro monthly, quarterly or annual subscription in the app, anglers can take advantage of features like Navionics depth contours, catch positions, spot prediction and personal waypoints.

Integrated within Fishbrain’s map display powered by Mapbox, Navionics’ bathymetry technology will further enhance anglers’ visibility. Layered within each interactive map, anglers will now be able to see specific depth contour labels and depth safety areas, which will then automatically appear as white demarcated zones, indicating and positioning anglers in the best possible spot from which to cast.

To help anglers further explore and understand their local coastal and inland waters, Navionics technology also delivers enhanced mapping with depth contours for the entire waterbed. By offering daily updates chart content from Navionics and informing anglers of detailed information about the lake bottom or ocean floor, Fishbrain will be able to provide its community with all the necessary knowledge needed to select an ideal location to secure a bite, without getting their feet wet.
