DECKEE Launches Depth Charts to Inspire Australians to Explore the Waterways
DECKEE, Australia’s #1 app for boating and water activities, has introduced Depth Charts for Australian waters, marking a major milestone on its journey to create the ultimate water adventure maps.
By reimagining depth chart data in a clear, intuitive format, DECKEE is not only making trusted hydrographic information easier and cheaper to access, but also building toward a future where maps reveal more, inspiring curiosity, safety and confidence on the water.
For generations, paper charts have been the standard reference, but they’ve often been impractical for most people on the water. Digital options have existed for Australians, but only as expensive foreign-made apps or complex hardware systems built for professionals.
Now, DECKEE has reimagined chart information in a simple and affordable format that everyday Australians can access directly inside the DECKEE app as part of the Supporters Club membership, while the app’s popular safety tools remain free for everyone, forever.
But DECKEE’s vision goes far beyond just improving chart usability. This release lays the groundwork for a new kind of map that doesn’t just display hydrographic data, but helps people understand the water, discover hidden insights, and see what usually goes unseen.
“We don’t see charts as a static reference,” said Mike McKiernan, Founder and CEO of DECKEE. “We see them as another step towards a new kind of map experience, one that reveals more, builds situational awareness, and inspires adventure.”
The latest update now sits alongside the app’s essential toolkit for boaters, paddlers, and anglers: real-time safety alerts, personalised weather forecasts, an automated logbook, equipment checklists, GPS location sharing and much more.
Over the past decade, DECKEE has cemented its position as the trusted technology partner of government waterway agencies and industry bodies worldwide, working together to improve public safety on the water.
