Re-introducing Smart ETA and Underway Mode

At Ditch we're focused on pushing your marine navigation to give you unparalleled confidence, from the moment you start route planning to the very second you drop anchor. Our aim is to make every journey safer and more enjoyable. While you might have caught a glimpse of them last season (when many of you would have not had your boats on the water), we’re re-introducing two critical features: Smart ETA and Underway Mode.

Smart ETA: Your Time, Optimized

Effective route planning is the foundation of a great boating trip. Gone are the days of estimating arrival times based on simple distance. Our Smart ETA, a key feature in our navigation app, goes beyond basic calculations.

It leverages Ditch's powerful AI, analyzing millions of data points, and now factors in nuances like designated no-wake zones and your boat’s typical cruising speed. This means you get a truly accurate estimated time of arrival, allowing you to plan your day on the water with greater certainty and less guesswork. It's about providing the insights that allow you to fine-tune your route and stay in command.

Underway Mode: Real-Time Clarity

Once you’re on the boat, Ditch's Underway Mode automatically provides real-time updates that are directly relevant to your active marine route. You’ll see your route distance, time to arrival, and SOG updated continuously. Our intuitive live navigation view understands your journey, delivering the right information at a glance so you can focus on the experience, not just the boating navigation. This dynamic feedback loop ensures you always have the most current information, enhancing your preparedness and helping you handle unexpected situations with ease.

These boating app features, powered by our Smart Path™ AI and collective boating knowledge, are designed to give you an edge, ensuring you navigate smarter and enjoy every mile. Experience the difference Ditch makes in transforming your on-water experience.
