Ratings and reviews

Needs to add ability to keep screen alive. GPS worked on my phone great while using maps. GPS on this app did not update well at all, so I ended up not using it at all. Buoys out further than 600 feet should be marked with this as well, in order to avoid them at night. I marked them on my Garmin and used that instead. Overall, good idea, but.... Meh.

Full disclosure - I work at TRPA, the agency that made this app. But i think its great for new and returning boaters to Tahoe. This app can definitely help navigate on the water and provide some info if you are not familiar with the regulations.

The offline map has a marina located at Meeks Bay. The marina was removed, several years ago.
