🗺️ Types of Depth Maps in Fishbox

Fishbox offers two types of depth maps:

NOAA Depth Maps

  • Included with a Fishbox Premium subscription

  • Available for U.S. coastal waters and the Great Lakes region

Navionics Depth Maps

  • Requires a separate Navionics subscription

  • Available on iOS only

  • Coverage depends on the areas supported by Navionics


✅ How to Enable Depth Contours

  1. Open the Map tab and tap the Depth button on the right side of the screen.
    ​

  2. Turn on Depths and select the depth map you want to use (iOS).
    ​


🌎 Check Coverage Availability

Before troubleshooting, please make sure the location you're viewing is covered by the depth map you've selected.
​

NOAA maps are only available for:

  • U.S. coastal waters

  • Great Lakes

Navionics coverage varies by region.
​

If your location is outside the supported coverage area, depth contours will not appear.


🔧 Depth Contours Not Showing?

Try the following:

  1. Confirm that your subscription is active.

  2. Confirm that the location you're viewing is supported.

  3. Zoom in as much as possible on the map.

  4. Wait a few moments for the contours to load.
