Anchor Methods:
• Auto Set
This option is best if you back down your boat to set the anchor. It uses your GPS fixes to determine the anchor location

• Auto Calculation
This option requires that you know the water depth. It uses your GPS fixes to determine the bearing to the anchor location.

• Two Point
This option does not rely on the app trying to calculate the anchor location. You set the anchor location when you’re dropping the anchor.

• Manual
For this option requires that you manually enter the GPS coordinates of the anchor location.

Ratings and reviews

Within minutes of the screen being off this app quits working. Even plugged in all night didn't change a thing. Not easy to use. Can't get my money back either it would see.

Downloaded this app before heading to the lake, after paying the premium price, and all it did was say "failed to connect to license server"!! Thank goodness I'd also installed Anchor Pro (also a premium, paid app, but it actually worked).

Great app. Lots of features. The only one that I found that runs all night long
