Software for Boating
- Boating Suite – boatingsuite.com (US$ 4.99) – got, more evaluating than regularly using
- Navionics Boating App – navionics.com/usa/apps/navionics-boating (free to download, maps costs U$10+) – got, infrequent use (goes in waves, just that one needs to remember to start and stop it, would be much nicer with solution that started/stopped based on ignition on/off / similar)

Towing
| BoatUS | SeaTow | |
| Cost / year (our needs) | $90.00, ‘Unlimited Inland’ | $119.00, ‘Lake Card’ |
| Pros (+), Cons (-) | + Magazine – Call center has a bit to wish for… including their app – have to SAY everything, NO means for them got get access to info via app/IT system |
+ (?) More direct access in the Lake, they are one of the companies operating there ? Not sure SeaTow’s app is that much better |
