Real water routes, channel by channel

When you set your next stop in Georgian Bay or the North Channel, the route you see now follows the actual water — charted depths, real channels, your boat's draft — down to the small-craft channel behind Parry Sound.

The next destination leg map from Big Sound Marina to Frying Pan Island / Sans Souci Anchorage (Echo Bay), showing the route threading the inside channel behind Parry Sound rather than the open water outside.

Routes that respect your draft

The line is computed from Canadian Hydrographic Service depth data plus the same coastline the map draws — it never crosses land, and it never sends you through water shallower than your draft plus a safety margin.

The narrow channels count

Mapped channels as tight as a few boat-lengths now route. Big Sound Marina to Echo Bay is about 12 nm through the inside channel — earlier it drew about 18 nm around the outside.

Honest to the last foot

Where charted depth runs thin near a dock or anchorage mouth, the solid route stops at the last water it can vouch for, and a dashed line covers the final approach — that part's yours by eye.

Fast the second time

A route you've looked at before comes back instantly.

Where it applies

This applies to Georgian Bay and the North Channel — everywhere else still uses the standard route.
