Android Auto is coming to boats, because why not
In 200 meters, hard to starboard!
MasterCraft Boat Holdings has announced an innovative addition to its upcoming Crest and Balise pontoon boats - Android Auto support. This integration comes as no surprise, given the growing trend of bringing modern connectivity features to watercraft. The company has partnered with Savvy Navvy, a navigation app designed specifically for boaters.
Savvy Navvy offers a range of features including charts, smart routing, information on nearby boat traffic, and comprehensive navigation. The app will function similarly to regular maps on Android Auto, providing real-time navigation details such as estimated time of arrival, current speed, and remaining distance. Customers who purchase a 2027 Crest or Balise boat will not only receive this cutting-edge navigation tool, but they will also have complimentary access to Savvy Navvy premium.
This development marks a significant step forward in making boat navigation more intuitive and user-friendly, potentially transforming how boaters navigate their vessels across lakes, inland waters, and oceans.
