SmartDrift™

SmartDrift™ calculates an accurate starting point for your boat if you want to drift over a specific spot after a specified time interval has elapsed.

SmartDrift™ is useful for bottom fishing, deep dropping or fishing over wrecks.

SmartDrift™ is available in the Chart app’s Navigate, Fishing and Anchor modes and also in the Fishfinder app.

SmartDrift™ uses SOG and COG data from a GNSS (GPS) receiver to calculate the boat’s drift given the current wind and tide conditions.

Once the boat has drifted 300 ft (91.44 m), the drift calculation will complete and the SmartDrift™ vector is shown in the Chart app. The vector consists of:

• a start point which uses a temporary waypoint and a transparent boat icon graphic.

• a vector line drawn between the start point and the stop point.

• a stop point (the selected location you want to drift to).

In the Fishfinder app you can use the sonar scroll-back feature to identify a point of interest and then initiate SmartDrift™ to drift to that point.
