  • Publication number: 20210227815
    Abstract: A sensor assembly for a castable lure is provided including a pressure sensor configured to measure a water pressure applied to the castable lure when deployed in an underwater environment, a processor, and a memory including computer program code. The computer program code configured to, when executed on the processor, cause the processor to receive pressure data from the pressure sensor, correlate the pressure data with time stamp data, cause the pressure data and correlated time stamp data to be stored in the memory, determine a data connection status between a transceiver and a marine electronic device, and in response to determining that a data connection exists, cause the pressure data and the correlated time stamp data to be transmitted to the marine electronic device. The pressure data and correlated pressure data correspond to a depth profile for a cast of the castable lure.

  • Patent number: 10290124
    Abstract: Various implementations described herein are directed to a marine electronics device used to display marine sonar data. The marine electronics device may include a computer system with a processor, memory, and a display. The memory may have a plurality of executable instructions. When the executable instructions are executed by the processor, the processor may receive depth information determined using a sonar device disposed underneath a vessel and configured to acquire sonar data in the direction of travel of the vessel. The processor may then cause the received depth information to be displayed on a navigation chart.

  • Patent number: 9829321
    Abstract: Various implementations described herein are directed to an apparatus for displaying marine electronic navigation data. The apparatus comprises one or more processors, a screen configured to display marine data, and a memory having a plurality of executable instructions. The executable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, may cause the one or more processors to determine a location of a vessel and at least one of a heading or a projected direction of travel of the vessel, retrieve a bathymetric chart corresponding to the location, analyze the bathymetric chart, the location, and the at least one heading or projected direction of travel of the vessel to determine a plurality of depths that each correspond to one of a plurality of locations corresponding to the heading or the projected direction of travel of the vessel, and display the plurality of depths on the screen.
