NomadTracks for fishing

Every spot marked. Every map yours.

The good fishing maps aren't in any app store: the lake association's depth chart, the reservoir agency's PDF, the hand-annotated map from the tackle shop. NomadTracks imports them, overlays your live position, and keeps your spots as private POIs — with photos of what you caught there.

Depth charts as live maps

Import a bathymetric PDF or photograph a paper depth chart and georeference it in-app. Drift over the drop-off watching your position on the actual contour lines.

Spots that stay yours

Mark holes, weed lines, snags and put-ins as POIs with notes and photos. No community map, no server — nobody else ever sees your spots.

The day on the water, recorded

Record the drift or the troll as a track: speed, distance and route. Find the productive drift line again next season by navigating your own recording.

Boat, bank and kayak

Nautical units for open water, off-track alerts for the paddle back, Apple Watch recording when the phone stays in the dry bag.

Free, no account: recording, your own offline maps, GPX export and the Apple Watch app are all part of the free core. Download NomadTracks free

Questions

FAQ

Can NomadTracks show lake depth maps?

It shows any depth map you can get as a PDF, image or GeoTIFF — lake association charts, agency bathymetry, even a photographed paper chart, georeferenced in-app in minutes. There's no built-in chart store; the point is carrying the charts you already have.

Are my fishing spots private?

Completely. NomadTracks has no accounts, no servers and no community map — POIs live on your device and sync only through your own iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox or NAS.

Does it work on the water without signal?

Yes — GPS position, your imported charts, POIs and recording all work fully offline. Nautical units (knots, nautical miles) are built in.

Can I use it in a kayak or canoe?

That's what the recorded Caddo Lake story below is — a full paddle recorded with the phone in a dry bag and live stats on the Apple Watch.
