Have navionics which is good but just wondering if there are any apps that have charts for lake Taupo or the Rotorua lakes

Check out https://wetmaps.co.nz/#7/-39.258/177.171

It's not an app but a website that stitches together LINZ charts and provides selectable layers for google maps, Navionics (regular and sonar) and also provides geolocation too I think.  I haven't used it much yet but have used it to share spots, make plans with mates, etc. when we are not face to face.

Creator of Wetmaps here. Good to hear you've been finding https://wetmaps.co.nz useful! Smile I'm currently working on some updates for it so keep an eye out! Will also explore some measurement tools. Cheers, Gabe

Well done Gabe and welcome to the madhouse.Clap

About wetmaps.co.nz

I like viewing LINZ marine charts but have trouble viewing them all in one go. To solve this probem, I created wetmaps. It's just a map stitched together from all the individual LINZ marine charts. I figured if it's useful to me, it'd probably be useful to others.

Features include:

  • View marine charts for everywhere in NZ
  • Switch between maps. Choose from LINZ, Navionics, Topo, Google Street, Satellite, and Terrain
  • Click the map to drop a pin and get the coordinates
  • View and track your current location
  • Share your current viewing location by just copying the url
  • Works 100% across all mobile and table devices
  • Mobile apps coming soon

It's free to use and always will be. Let me know if you have any ideas for improvement: [email protected]. 
Feel like shouting me a beer?

Cheers,
Gabe
