Raymarine Wi-Fish

Raymarine

About this app

• The Enhanced Wi-Fish™ mobile app with augmented reality Wi-Fish™ targets your favorite hunting areas with augmented viewing technology ‘Go-2-Fish’ view

• Arrive at your fishing destination and open Wi-Fish™ and select the target waypoint where you want to target fish

• Power toward the fish target using the Field of view target finder and augmented view; you simply ‘point and shoot’ towards your hunting zone and distance count downs as you approach your target

• Target guide arrows, to keep you on track when target is not in your field of view

• View the fish on the Dragonfly or connected Wi-Fish™ sonar view; then cast your line and bring in those fish

• Waypoint sync and editing at home, with additional map view to see all your waypoints

• Go-2-Fish augmented targeting, guides you towards the zone, so you can focus on catching fish, rather than looking for them!

• Enhanced augmented reality Dual sonar Channel Raymarine Wi-Fish™ mobile app (Requires the latest Dragonfly firmware V12.10 for waypoint synchronization)

• Note: Minimum requirements, Android 4.0; this application can still be used with the Wi-Fish, Black box CHIRP DownVision™ sonar module, but will automatically configure to display the DownVision™ sonar only & will have no waypoint synchronization

Existing features remain, the application transforms your smartphone into a powerful Dual Channel CHIRP conical and DownVision™ sonar:

• Anglers can stream Dragonfly Pro Dual Channel CHIRP sonar data right to their smartphone and tablet with the Raymarine Wi-Fish™ mobile app

• The Wi-Fish™ mobile application displays both Dragonfly conical sonar and our award DownVision™ technology, to put crystal clear photo-like fish images, right in the palm of your hand

• You can independently Pause, Zoom, Rewind and capture sonar images to share online with friends

• Raymarine’s Wi-Fish™ unique view switcher, allows users to seamlessly display both CHIRP Downvision™ & Conical Sonar or combine these onto a powerful split screen view.

• For the first time, you have the power to Pause, Zoom, Rewind multiple sonar data on multiple smartphones and tablets, independent on what is shown on the Dragonfly 4, 5 or 7 Pro.

• Imagine a scenario of navigating to your fishing hotspot with the Dragonfly Pro, whilst simultaneously having the power to display CHIRP conical sonar on your phone and rewinding DownVision™ sonar on your tablet

• Powerful Multi-screen CHIRP Sonar technology with Raymarine’s unique view switcher, gives the fish nowhere to hide!

Ratings and reviews

It's really easy to connect and looks great on my phone. Still some room for improvement: out of the box, it doesn't work with GPS on my phone (the app didn't ask for any permissions); also it doesn't allow to enable fish notifications (pretty crucial functionality). Hasn't been updated in years.

Those with issues - read below... App works as advertised every single time. Will combine with Navionics and never has an issue. Problems- 1. Update your wifish!!! Mine came with old software and would drop signal contantly. Would also randomly switch between metric and imperial units. 2. If its been updated and continues to drop wifi, but only once in awhile, touch the unit and see if its hot. I had to move mine out if the sun to remedy overheating. 3. You CAN connect 5 devices at 1nce

I having been using the Wi-Fish app on all of my devices (phones Samsung and HTC) tablets (Rooted Nook, and some off brand tablets). It works as advertised on all these device. Resolution is best on the Nook since it has the brightest screen and can be used in bright daylight.. but the con is the battery draw. The Nook only last a few hours. So I then go to the lower brightness screens of the off brand tablets. I have also incorporated the Marine Navigation app to use in the split screen mode. Works without flaw. The Nook does not have GPS and if your tablet does not you need to run an app called GPS tether and tether the nook via Bluetooth to your cell phone. One issue many of those experiencing crashes might have, may be related to your WI-FI settings on your device. You need to forget all WI-FI connections except for the WI-Fish to ensure the system is only going to be looking for the WI-Fish. 2019 Update - The Nook I was using had to use a side app to get GPS on the Nook from my phone. I opted to purchase a Samsung Tab 4. It has a brighter screen than other android tablet. Using a Unicorn it and it protect the tablet from war and impact.
