Whether you prefer digital or old school, charts do a great job of getting you where you need to go, and satellite images can provide an excellent supplement when navigating a new marina. However, there are some things that just aren’t easily represented in 2D. 

Enter Maptech’s new Harbor Drone Video Program, a library of drone footage showcasing over 100 (and counting) popular marinas and the surrounding areas. Showcasing what you will actually see upon arrival—from landmarks to fuel docks to buoys—it’s a great way to visualize and plan exactly what your approach to an unfamiliar area will look like.

The videos are accessible through QR codes in the Maptech Embassy Cruising Guides and online for free at MoreMaptech.com.

“We’re proud to offer our customers this new technological resource through our mission to help boaters feel more confident, explore new places and operate more safely,” says Lee Estes, owner and president of Maptech. “This is truly a win-win for boaters and marinas.” 

This footage library is the latest from Maptech, which also offers paper charts, in-depth cruising guides, and digital navigation.
