Apple's CarPlay and Android Auto are diversifying from road-only sat-nav and coming to select MasterCraft pontoon boats with built-in on-water navigation, MasterCraft Boat Holdings announced.
To handle that, CarPlay will include Savvy Navvy's new CarPlay and Android Auto apps, which include Savvy Charts with 2D and 3D views.
"Boaters have been asking for a modern infotainment system for years," said Savvy Navvy CEO Jelte Liebrand.
The helm displays on all new Balise and Crest Conquest and Caribbean models will be compatible with CarPlay and Android Auto, but include Savvy Navvy as the default navigation app.
Customers who purchase the boats will also get access to Savvy Navvy Premium with extra features unlocked.
