RiverGuide For Kayakers by Wayne Daley, LLC

RiverGuide For Kayakers Screenshots



Description

RiverGuide is the essential tool for the kayaker, rafter, or canoeist on the go. With access to thousands of real time streamflow gauges throughout the US, and kayaking news, you'll never be wondering what's running in your area and what's not. With a few taps of your fingers, you will know the cubic feet per second (cfs) your favorite river is running, the relative level high, med or low and when the information was last recorded. Arriving at the put-in to find the river only at a trickle, should be a thing of the past.

Customer Reviews

RiverGuide.... for Fly Fisherman! (5 stars)
Excellent program! I can program my favorite rivers and get up to date cf flow information before I hit the river. The 2nd best feature for me has been the satellite view... I can now zoom in on a river and find those small tributaries that have eluded while me bushwacking on foot.

Keeps improving and impressing ! (5 stars)
Been with this for several versions now, and love it more and more each time. Started as the only game in town, so to speak, and I was happy to have anything to check gauges easily on the fly. With regular new upgrades, this product continues to excel and impress.

River Management Society (5 stars)
As a river manager, this ap has proven invaluable. I love having this incredible snapshot of the nation's rivers right at my fingertips.
