PISCATUS BathymetryNow^TM

With the power of Piscatus^3D BathymetryNow^TM another feature from Piscatus^3D Professional versions, real-time dynamic mapping is possible. This feature integrates the supplied bathymetry database with GPS and echo sounding data from your vessel.  As your vessel moves across the surface, new information is filtered, groomed, fitted and contoured; updating and refining your map to create a uniquely detailed view of what lies below.  Instantly you get a much clearer understanding of already familiar grounds and a much faster appreciation of new grounds.

PISCATUS^3D Integrated Global Bathymetry

PISCATUS^3D removes the need to comprehensively cover an area to get a complete map by utilising two built in bathymetry databases.  Version 4's new and improved one natuical mile grid cell dataset of the planet based on satelitte altimetry.  This background dataset is kept separate from the boat's actual soundings and once the boat collects real data this built in data is quickly enhanced.  

PISCATUS3D Marks and Lines PISCATUS3D also has the facility to create, save and load marks and lines directly in the 3D environment.  Boat tracklines can also be recorded and saved. These important marks, lines and tracklines can also is stored in different plots and individual or groups of plots displayed at any time. To make finding the relevant information quicker. PISCATUS3D Classic, who is this for?

But Piscatus3D Classic is also excellent for any sea adventurer, whether it is to have the perfect map of your bay or to map deepest channel to a secluded island or bay where charts do not have the required detail. Tourism sea journeys and ferries, would also see great interest from onboard clients as they can see the seabed below and land around.

Why use PISCATUS^3D Classic?

Better than a static chart, paper charts are static and do not change over time to represent the real seabed below.  These maps cover large areas often missing the smaller details in the bottom topography which influence fish behaviour. Piscatus^3D uses its BathymetryNow™ technology to create a 3D model of the seabed as you move over it in your boat. Each time your vessel receives a new piece of data, Piscatus^3D stores this point in a database and next time you return to the area it is already mapped out for you.

Compare Piscatus^3D to having only an echo sounder, an echo sounder shows you only a small point under the vessel. Piscatus^3D displays the complete area fishing area in high detail. Which this information, you and others fishing on your vessel and make informed decisions on how best to fish any area and gain the full enjoyment from the hunt of fishing.

Piscatus^3D gives you a faster understanding of new fishing grounds, Piscatus^3D gives you an understanding of the seabed which would have previously taken years. Not only can you feel more secure that you have found the most fishable seabed features, you also quickly visualize areas with no features.

Piscatus^3D lets you see what is ahead, If you have used Piscatus^3D to map an area previously you will get a real-time display of the boats position as it moves and you can see the underwater features you are heading for. This can be useful if you a wanting to find the top of a rock or the edge of a reef.

Piscatus3D is a simple plotter, Piscatus3D can also be used as a simple plotter for steering down the deepest parts of channels or storing information in marks of favourite fising spots. It also has many range and bearing displays and a heading vector on the boat.

PISCATUS^3D Classic Endorsement

“Profishient Sportfishing Charters based on Lake Michigan (U.S.A) is a leader in Great Lakes Salmon & Trout sportfishing charters, tournament competitions and experienced Piscatus^3D user.

Piscatus^3D delivers on its promise to provide a detailed view of important and sometimes subtle bottom structure which play a key role in identifying fish-holding locations and current upwellings which hold and congregate baitfish.

The best features of Piscatus^3D are the ability to zoom and rotate/pan view of accurately mapped bottom features

We find this most useful when identifying sometimes subtle structure in otherwise featureless areas that hold fish and baitfish

I would recommend Piscatus^3D to any keen sport fisherman or charter boat owner”
