For over a decade, drivers have enjoyed safer access to key smartphone features and their favourite mapping apps through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on their car’s infotainment display. However, being distracted by the best phones while on the water isn’t particularly advisable either is it? That’s why it’s good to see MasterCraft – makers of the popular Crest Marine and Balise pontoon boats – adopt both CarPlay and Android Auto right off the production line.

It’ll be just like using Google Maps or Apple Maps to drive with.
