SonaSoft 4.2 Update Available
Local History Mapping™ data can now be backed up to FarSounder’s data server and shared anonymously across the FarSounder fleet for the benefit of other users and global data ocean data initiatives. This release also adds the ability to report observations of marine mammals or other navigation hazards in SonaSoft. Reported observations will be shared anonymously with marine mammal and ocean debris tracking organizations for the benefit of ocean science and all mariners.
This release also brings a host of internal and tooling updates that translate into a more robust and overall higher performing system. You'll also find a number of smaller tweaks to the interface that should make your FarSounder experience more enjoyable including improved support for high resolution displays.
