- Augmented Reality, locally mapped locations of interest: We research and pull from trusted resources all sorts of locations of interest. From snorkeling/dive spots, the best locally-known restaurants, fishing pier information, bathrooms/showers, locating free/paid parking, and more! In the general location, but not quite sure? Use our augmented reality camera view to locate and guide you DIRECTLY to the location of interest you're looking for.
