What data does the map of holes, depths and fishing spots convey?
The fishing depth map is based on a complex system based on Yandex.Maps, combining a combination of 3 cartography services, this gives a more accurate result on river depths and the search for promising fishing spots.
At the moment, the Russian.Fishing depth map accurately conveys the parameters of the depths of navigable rivers, seas and oceans, shows the fishing spots of all participants and calculates potentially interesting places for fishing in the form of holes - the deepest points of a reservoir or river. ▲ 3.7 (example of depth) - display of depth in units (meters), it is important to know that the exact depth indicator is located exactly at the point where the arrow points.
How to use the fishing card?
We tried to simplify the use of the depth map and reduce all the complexities to simple controls. So, let's begin:
- When you first visit the page, enter the name of the desired location in the search field.
- Pits button, a very complex system for automatically identifying holes with a depth of 3 meters in a particular reservoir, in some cases the depth of the holes will be from 2.5 meters, this is due to the surrounding bottom topography, for example, if there is a bottom topography with a depth of up to 1 meter around, then the system will define a depth of 2.5 meters as a hole, which is natural for fishing. When you press the button, areas with the depths of all holes known to the system will be displayed. It is very important to know that the holes are displayed outside the fairway area, that is, the depths will be natural.
- The Coordinates button displays the latitude and longitude of the selected point, press, then click on the desired location, information with data will open. This is necessary for several purposes, for example, you are going fishing with a boat, enter the data of the selected hole into your GPS receiver, echo sounder, chart plotter and follow to the required point. Or you have chosen a point with the depth of the river you like in a place without an address, enter the received coordinates into the navigator and follow the route.
- The Where Am I button was primarily created to determine your geolocation; it may not work on some devices, in which case use the search.
- The Distance button allows you to find out any distance between two or more points. After clicking, click on the map to the desired location, by moving the line, click again to determine the final result. It was specially developed to determine the distance of the fisherman to a specific hole, for example, you are sitting fishing, the depth is visible on the map, by simple manipulations, you can find out the distance from you to the desired place.
- The Whole World button allows you to see the depths of seas, oceans and rivers around the globe. By default it opens in the Primorsko-Akhtarsk area.
- The Places button allows you to see all the fishing spots that our bloggers have added; when clicked, it shows markers with fishing coordinates and a link to the description of this fishing spot.
It is important to understand!!! River depths and automatic determination of hole depths are provided at their maximum point from the water surface; the service cannot correctly determine the exact length of the hole, its direction along the coastline, a waterfall, a spit or a riffle, and cannot accurately indicate the entrance and exit from the hole. To do this, you need to learn on your own, and most importantly, to read the river correctly and correctly use your knowledge in conjunction with the depth map data.
