Argo Nav puts Army Corps surveys on the chart (and finally gets its Panbo review)

Despite a few mentions of Argo Nav’s capabilities, I have yet to write a full, hands-on review of Argo Nav’s mobile device navigation app. For the first several years Argo was around, founder Jeff Foulk didn’t feel the product was “ready” for a review.

Allow me to rectify that while also highlighting a new feature that is near and dear to my heart. In large part because of my time cruising the Intracoastal Waterway and its many shoaling hazards, I’m most excited about Argo’s addition of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers survey data overlays right on the chart.

Safiery is among the first companies offering solid state batteries to the recreational marine market. This new development in lithium ion batteries promises improved safety, performance, temperature tolerance, and longer life. Let’s take a look at how many of those promises are realized in these batteries.
