  • Patent number: 11875030
    Abstract: A system is provided for updating user interfaces of marine electronic devices. The system includes determining available devices and receiving user input to determine information such as fishing location, fishing style, fish type, and fishing depth. The system also includes determining a plurality of screen setups to present to a user based on the received user input and the determined available devices. The system then enables selection from among the plurality of screen setups by the user and causes the marine electronic device to operate according to the selected screen setup. The system may optimize settings based on the user input. Further, a system is provided for connecting an unconnected device to a marine electronic device. A system is also provided for communicating information about an unconnected device on a watercraft to a user.

  • Publication number: 20230204362
    Abstract: Systems and methods for conveniently providing anchoring assistance onboard a watercraft are provided herein. An example system includes a display and a processor in communication with a marine system. The processor is configured to receive marine data from the marine system and/or one or more user inputs and cause the display to show one or more anchoring locations with visual indications of the anchorage quality index based on at least the marine data and/or user inputs. The one or more anchoring locations may be shown as a heat map overlaid on a map. The system may use real-time marine data, environmental data, weather data, tide data, etc. to dynamically adjust the anchoring locations and anchorage quality index. The system may enable convenient and helpful suggestions and notifications to the user when anchoring a watercraft. Some examples provide automatic deployment of an anchoring system and monitoring of a current anchoring.
