Map Crosshair

More detail

What the readings are. From left to right along the top, you see the position of the spot, the water depth there, and the value of the data layer you have up, shown under that layer's own name. Once you have picked a species from the Bite Intel button, you also see the BITE reading for it. The BITE reading is a habitat match from 0 to 100: how much the water at that spot resembles water that species has been caught in. Position, depth and temperature follow your units in Preferences.

How to use it on the iPhone app. Drag the map until the water you care about is under the crosshair, then wait a moment: the old number stays on screen until the new one arrives. To read your own spot, tap the boat button on the right. The map recenters so your boat sits under the crosshair. The crosshair is not your boat, which is the separate boat icon. With a species picked, the fish button at the top of the right-hand controls opens the breakdown of the BITE reading for the spot under the crosshair.

On the website. The same readings are in the bar at the top center of the map. Move the pointer over the water and they change as it moves. Click a spot and the readings stay on it, marked Pinned, until the pointer is over the map again or you clear the pin. With the pointer off the map and nothing pinned they read the middle of the map.

Limits. Depth and the layer value disappear when the spot is over land. Depth shows even with no data layer chosen. A reading is only as fine as the layer behind it.

The numbers

How often it updates	The readings refresh after the map stops moving
How detailed it is	Only as fine as the layer behind it
Where it covers	The iPhone app only
Observed or modeled	Neither. The values it reads come from the layers you have selected
What you see on screen	A fixed crosshair, with position, water depth, the selected layer's value and the "BITE" habitat match (0 to 100) along the top
