32-Character Waypoint Names

Tired of cramming waypoint descriptions into 10-character limits? Fish Fathom lets you use up to 32 characters for waypoint names. That's enough space to actually describe your spot properly.

Old Way (10 characters)

"Reef_40ft"

Vague and confusing. Which reef? What makes it special?

New Way (32 characters)

"Twin Ledges Red Snapper 85ft"

Crystal clear. You know exactly what this spot is.

Powerful Tag System

Tags are the secret weapon for organizing hundreds of waypoints. Create custom tags for anything - species, bottom type, bait, lunar phase, season, whatever matters to you.

Smart Filtering

Find Spots by Species

Tap the "Red Snapper" tag and instantly see only your Red Snapper waypoints. No scrolling through unrelated spots.

Multi-Tag Filtering

Combine tags: "Grouper" + "Ledge" + "Summer" shows only ledge spots where you caught Grouper in summer. Laser-focused.

Season & Conditions

Filter by "Full Moon" + "Morning" to find spots that produce during specific lunar and time conditions.

Save Filter Presets

Save your favorite tag combinations as presets for one-tap filtering when you're on the water.

gps_fixedIntelligent Waypoint Clustering

Fish Fathom automatically clusters nearby waypoints on the map to prevent clutter and improve readability. When you zoom out, waypoints intelligently group together - zoom in and they separate into individual points. This is professional-grade map management that competing apps don't offer.

Clean Map View

No more map chaos with 100+ overlapping waypoint markers. Clusters keep your map readable even with hundreds of saved spots.

Smart Zoom Behavior

Zoom out to see overall patterns - where are your fishing grounds concentrated? Zoom in to see individual waypoints with full details.

Cluster Counts

Each cluster shows the number of waypoints it contains. Tap a cluster to zoom in and reveal all waypoints in that area.

Performance

Clustering dramatically improves map performance when you have 200+ waypoints. No lag, no slowdowns, just smooth navigation.

How Clustering Works

Zoomed Out: 85 waypoints in Tampa Bay area → Shows "85" cluster marker
Mid Zoom: Cluster breaks into 4 smaller clusters (23, 31, 18, 13 waypoints)
Zoomed In: All individual waypoints visible with full names and tags

Why This Matters

Scenario: You're a serious angler with 300+ waypoints collected over 5 years of fishing. Without clustering, your map would be an unreadable mess of overlapping markers. With Fish Fathom's intelligent clustering:

  • See patterns at a glance - "I have 45 waypoints in the Clearwater area"
  • Navigate efficiently - Tap clusters to zoom to productive fishing grounds
  • Find nearby spots fast - See how many waypoints are in your current area
  • Keep map performant - No lag even with 500+ waypoints loaded
lightbulbPro Tip: Clustering works with tag filters! Filter by "Red Snapper" and watch clusters update in real-time to show only Red Snapper waypoint concentrations. This reveals your most productive Red Snapper fishing grounds instantly.

Real-World Examples

Tournament Fisher

You have 200+ waypoints collected over years of fishing. Use tags like "Red Snapper," "Summer," "Ledge," and "40-60ft" to instantly find the 12 spots most likely to produce during a summer Red Snapper tournament.

Seasonal Patterns

Tag waypoints with seasons to remember when spots are productive. Filter by "Spring" to see only spots that produce in spring months.

Bait Selection

Tag spots with what bait worked: "Live Bait," "Cut Threadfin," "Jig." Next time you're at that spot, you know exactly what to throw.

Multi-Species Trips

Planning a mixed-bag trip? Filter for spots tagged with multiple species: "Snapper + Grouper + Kingfish" to find areas where all three are present.

Why Better Waypoint Management Matters

  • Remember What Worked: Tags help you remember which bait, conditions, and techniques worked at each spot
  • Find Spots Faster: Filter 200 waypoints down to 5 relevant spots in seconds using tags
  • Organize Chaos: Never lose track of productive spots in a giant unorganized waypoint list
  • Share Knowledge: Export and share waypoints with friends - spread the success
  • Build a Database: Over time, tagged waypoints become a searchable fishing knowledge database
