Humminbird Unveils FishSmart App
More than ever, anglers rely on their smartphones
for communications on and off the water. Now, the
new Humminbird FishSmart app puts the power of
LakeMaster mapping in anglers’ hands and delivers
a more convenient path to important software
updates for Humminbird fi shfi nders.
With a high-defi nition LakeMaster map, users can
purchase and download any of the 1,500-plus high-
defi nition LakeMaster maps. From there, they can
highlight depth contours and shallow water, offset
the water depth based on seasonal changes, or
even mark waypoints or routes.
FishSmart is available as a free download
in the app store for Apple and Android users.
