During Crest Marine's annual dealer meeting today on Lake Lansing, dealers had the opportunity to experience the new integration firsthand through on-water demonstrations, showcasing its capabilities and customer benefits. Direct from the helm, Crest and Balise boaters can seamlessly sync the Savvy Navvy mobile app to access nautical charts, smart routing, active GPS tracking, live weather forecasts and tidal data. Like automotive, navigation will display on the same screen as other CarPlay applications. Boaters can select from day, night, or satellite view.
