The boating map where everything comes together

OpenSeaMap—and an app that looks ahead while you cruise.

Rivers & Seas combines OpenSeaMap marks, depths, your position, and AIS with Waterway Ahead. Inland, bridges and locks appear automatically; along the coast, depths, navigation marks, and satellite imagery remain close at hand.

The map stays calm. What matters moves forward automatically.

OpenSeaMap supplies the nautical context and OpenStreetMap shows life ashore. Rivers & Seas turns them into a map for cruising, with AIS targets and, on supported waterways, bridges, locks, and notices ahead.

Just set off

Follow your position while Rivers & Seas automatically updates the waterway ahead as you cruise.

Available AIS targets sit on the map instead of requiring a separate radar app.

Marine depths you can understand at a glance.

For marine and coastal areas, Rivers & Seas also offers a depth-focused map with color-shaded water, depth contours, and spot depths. Shallow areas stand out immediately while sea marks and current boat data remain visible.

The depth view is available for marine and coastal areas. It supports orientation but does not replace official nautical charts or safe navigation.

Places no map can choose for you

Remember anchorages, restaurants, and discoveries—right on the map.

A peaceful spot, a tricky passage, or the restaurant for your next stop ashore: place a bookmark directly on the map and add a name, notes, photos, a symbol, and tags. Filter your places so the map shows exactly what matters right now.

  • Your own photos make important places instantly recognizable
  • Tags keep anchorages, navigation, restaurants, and day trips organized
  • Import existing collections or share individual places with others
