Launch of Smart ETA

Tired of your existing tools giving you inaccurate arrival times? That's because they rely on a single cruising speed and ignore the reality of no-wake zones, channels, and other slowdowns.

This November we’re proud to launch our groundbreaking Smart ETA feature, giving captains more accurate arrival times. We are the first and only boating app to offer this level of accuracy.

Here's what's new:

• Smart ETA: No more mental math or relying on unreliable estimates. Smart ETA provides realistic arrival times by considering factors that impact your actual journey, like no-wake zones and your speed. 

• Real-time Updates: See your route distance, time to arrival (powered by Smart ETA), and SOG while underway.

• Automatic Transition: As soon as Ditch detects you're underway, it will automatically transition to your live navigation view.

"We're incredibly excited to celebrate our first anniversary with the launch of Smart ETA. It always bugged us that ETAs were never quite right. You know, leaving the marina, you're stuck at 4 knots – and that throws off your whole trip. I'd find myself doing mental math on the water, trying to figure out the real arrival time. We wanted to take that frustration away. So, we started using data to identify slow zones and build them right into the ETA. This is just the first step. In 2025, we're going to take it even further, making those ETAs truly smart with real-time data and predictions.”

Right now, Smart ETA provides real-time arrival updates while you're underway. Pre-planning functionality is coming soon!
