Lots of improvements have been made since last review. Still needs to be able to add points on the desktop interface. It looks like there is the beginnings of the functionality, but there is no "pin" indicated on the desktop map to then add that point, It adds the point at my current location only. The phone app does not have this problem - it shows the pin. Need to filter for any single, or multiple, locations. For example - only fuel, or only ramps, etc, or both. Need ability to locate via pasting a gps string into the search, and then map goes to that point, so that I can then add that point. I know some fuel location by gps, and having to hunt on the map is cumbersome. You have done a great service to us all with this app. Keep up with the mods. For us boat travelers, Fuel, Ramps, Marinas. restaurants with dockage etc, on the water stuff is so needed.

Just downloaded apo, hoping to have ability to pick a destination and have app provide suggested route, based on current/provided start poit. However, only seems to have ability to track/save a route. Wish I could obtain directions, like Waze. Thanks for the update/quick response. I'll certainly try the YouTube video, and circle back with any follow-up questions.

Hi Robert, KnowWake DOES have routing, just like WAZE! Every point of interest has a ROUTE button that will guide you through deep-water OR you can drop a pin anywhere on the chart and get directions directly to it. Please connect at info@knowwake.com for more help and see the tutorial how here: https://youtube.com/shorts/--FGtoKEQLE?feature=share

Needs help, same error message pops up even after being told to not show again. Unable to navigate by water to destination, only roadway navigation works. Please fix the ses bugs to make the APP better. **Update response** on lake Martin trying to navigate to Chuck's Marina and received error and the exhaust notice and the life jacket notice continually pop up even when told not to.

Thanks for letting us know.. Those popups will only show twice and then they're gone (It's a Boating Safety month thing) Unfortunately, we do not have navigation on a handful of freshwater areas and that is one of them, but we're adding and updating more everyday. Hope you find some other useful features on the app - See you on the water!
