Sharing your favorite trips and locations with friends and groups is easier than ever. Simply click the share button and choose who you want to share with - they'll receive a message and a link that takes them right to the spot you shared. This feature is perfect to re-trace steps, show friends how to get somewhere or just share your adventures for others to follow along!

The updated SOS system is our newest super-cool feature to make the water safer. Send an SOS to the community OR rescue services with a short message and your location. Anyone within 7 miles gets a message and everyone on the chart can see your location that updates every 30 seconds. This will create a drift path showing where you started and the direction you are moving - this will help establish a search grid if service or communication is lost. Rescuers and the community can also easily message, route to you directly or share the SOS with someone else on KnowWake.

Adding to the chart is easy and helps everyone. Whether you are adding a real-time waterway report, adding a missing point or editing an existing one - you can help the community and keep the chart current and accurate with local knowledge!

Thank you to all the KnowWakers that have helped grow and keep KnowWake accurate everyday - see everyone on the water!!

Everyone Living in South FL Should Have This

If you boat, fish, do water sports or more KnowWake is a no brainer. That’s why I downloaded this need-to-have boaters app. However, after using it a couple times I’ve realized that everyone should have it because the captain of your vessel, or your day outing, may not. I recently visited some friends in Virginia and we went boating in an area I am completely unfamiliar with, but when they asked what bar we should head to for lunch, KnowWake had the answer. On another occasion, I got up early to go fishing only to find out that my local bishop had just gone out of business and KnowWake had an alternative at 4:30 AM; right when I needed it most. Not just that, but if you live in a place like South Florida you also have the option to drive to a great restaurant or hangout spot using KnowWake. Thanks to the team at KnowWake for always having my back when I need or want any fishing or water sport related suggestions.

KnowWake just keeps getting better and better!!!

I am an avid boater. I spend a lot of time every season putting lots of miles on my hull. I have to say this app is such a great resource. It offers charts and satellite views and even AIS. It has weather and best of all they really update the locations of facilities and businesses so I know I’m getting good information. The other thing that blew my mind was how up to date the charts are. The coast guard just last month moved to very important channel markers in my area almost 75 yards due to shifting conditions. My Navionics didn’t pick it up or Garmin (which I regularly update the charts). But KnowWake had the changes almost immediately.
The best part about this app is it is user friendly and intuitive. I can’t wait to watch the KnowWake community grow. Do yourself a favor download this for a way better experience on and off the water.

Makes boating stress free (almost)

The owner of the marina where my boat is docked recommended this app to me 3 years ago, and I have been using it ever since. My boating is exclusively around the coast and coastal waterways of New Jersey.

When I take trips to new places, I find this app indispensable. It has enabled me to choose marinas, restaurants and bars that are accessible by boat, moorings, but most importantly, it is insect repellant for marine police. I used to get stopped multiple times each year, but since becoming familiar with this app, I have been molested by the marine police no more.

Whoever made this app, thank you for all of the great meals and drinks, the filled up gas tanks when I would have had to call sea tow, and most of all, thank you for keeping the insects away!
