This app is developed for use with ArduPilot based platforms such as:
APM
Pixhawk
Injector
Connector

In the past there was not an app especially designed for bait boats. The most common app in use was the Tower app. Years of experience with this autopilot platforms showed that the "Tower" app was simply too difficult for most Carp anglers. The Tower app was also originally designed for camera drones and not for bait boats. That is why we have taken the initiative to develop the most easy-to-use bait boat app in the world. First idea was to modify Tower so that it could be used on a bait boat. After a short analysis it was decided to rebuild the whole app because the building blocks of Tower are simply too old. Most of the code is based on platforms that are no longer supported in current, but also future android versions. That’s why Tower has also been removed from the play store.

What are the main thoughts behind the app:
• to build the most easy to use bait boat app in the world
• the app must be "smart", so it must automatically connect to autopilot itself, recognize which autopilot platform is used
• also things like dragging "home position" at the APM is desired
• "operating mode" can be operated via both tablet and handheld transmitter
• good folder structure for storing groups of waypoints per water or swim
• night mode for both map and UI
• latest Google Map support with map tilt capability for 3d map view
• simple Google Maps download for offline use
• select icon for bait boat and waypoints. So let the icon match your own bait boat
• release in 10 languages
o English
o German
o French
o Italian
o Dutch
o Spanish
o Portuguese
o Polish
o Ukrainian
o Russian
• Voice support in 10 languages
• User interface is designed for both tablet and smartphone
• Adding Navionics charts
• Adding “live mapping”

What do we certainly not want? Add as many functionalities to this app as you can think of! This means that the app will only become more extensive and complicated and this is precisely what we want to prevent. All we want is:

"THE EASIEST BAITBOAT APP IN THE WORLD"
