Carp Pilot Pro vCarp Pilot Pro v. 4.8.0-.6

Easy to use app to support and control bait boats, with very powerful features under the hood.

Use Carp Pilot Pro with bait boats that have built in NMEA echo sounder, Wifi GPS or Autopilot. State of the art features for controlling your bait boat. Including integration with multiple echo sounder models, live bathymetric mapping and bathymetric editor.

Carp Pilot Pro is easy to use! No nonsense single click sends boat to desired spot, saves a new spot where the boat is or a new spot where you are (when using in a dinghy).
You can start to use the app as it is, then exploit the rich set of abilities when you get experience. Also have a look at the description of the really powerful Premium features below, and note that these require a subscription.
