Fishermen and navigators worldwide recognize the Humminbird brand for innovation and accuracy. Aligning with Waterway Guide Media to provide marina data on the all-new CoastMaster charts, Humminbird was awarded Best of Category/Electronics at the recent International Convention of Allied Sportfishing Trades show. Produced by the American Sportfishing Association, ICAST is the world’s largest sportfishing trade show.The New Product Showcase embodies the sportfishing industry’s innovative and entrepreneurial spirit and rewards that ingenuity with awards in several categories. Humminbird’s new CoastMaster chart provides highly accurate chart coverage for all U.S. coastal waters. With complete coverage for all East, West and Gulf coast waters on a single card, CoastMaster delivers all saltwater captains the information and features they need to fish and navigate with confidence.

Thousands of data points provided by Waterway Guide Media are included in the new CoastMaster charts, including marina locations, contacts and important details that boaters and fishermen can use when planning and researching their destinations and service options.

The new CoastMaster chart arms anglers with the very latest information to identify key fish-holding areas by providing accurate spot soundings, depth contours, points of interest, and navigational aids to ensure safe navigation. Anglers will also be able to monitor fishing conditions with a predictive tides and currents tool that offers details about the speed and direction of currents and the direction and height of tides precisely for the vessel’s location. Additionally, multiple depth highlight ranges enable captains to clearly identify productive depth ranges or shallow hazard areas, and a water level offset feature allows for the adjustment of depth contours and shorelines to match current water levels.
