Watercraft automation and aquatic effort data utilization

摘要

Watercraft automation and aquatic data utilization for aquatic efforts are utilized for updating map data. A GPS mapping computer and a sonar device are in communication. The GPS mapping computer displays aquatic effort data. Current aquatic effort data is obtained on the GPS mapping computer. The GPS mapping computer is updated with the current aquatic effort data. The update includes updating map data with the current position and the current sonar information.

主权项

1. A system for sourcing aquatic effort data, the system comprising:
a control mechanism and a trolling motor, wherein the control mechanism is executable to control the trolling motor; an electronic GPS mapping computer, the electronic GPS mapping computer having a display and being in communication with a sonar device and the control mechanism; a memory having computer-executable instructions stored thereon, the computer-executable instructions causing a processor to:
provide aquatic effort data, wherein the aquatic effort data includes at least map data,obtain current aquatic effort data, wherein the current aquatic effort data includes at least a current position and current sonar information of the sonar device,update the aquatic effort data with the current aquatic effort data, wherein the update includes updating the map data with the current position and the current sonar information of the sonar device, andsend instructions from the electronic GPS mapping computer to the control mechanism to cause control of the trolling motor in accordance with the update to the aquatic effort data.
