The app for carp anglers

Your spots.
Back on them, every time.

SpotNav saves your baited spots with GPS and camera, guides you back to within a rod length by compass or camera view, and keeps every catch in your logbook. No account, and your data stays on your iPhone.

Navigation to within a rod length. Then the bar turns green and your iPhone vibrates.

Photo, species, weight. Spot, time and session are filled in for you.

On the bank

Works one-handed, even with wet fingers

The main features take one or two taps. Big text, big buttons, clear colours, readable against the light and in the dark.

Save a spot in two taps

When you bait up, tap plus, point the camera at the spot and enter the distance, in metres or in wraps of your rod. Or set the spot straight on the map.

  • GPS and camera, distance in metres or wraps (rod lengths)
  • Set it on the map: crosshair or long press
  • Photo gallery, water, depth, bottom, features and notes for every spot
Spot Reed margin: satellite map with marker, a gallery of three photos, saved on 30/08/2026, distance 45 m, navigation button and a note about a sharp drop-off from 1.5 to 2.8 m

Straight back to the spot

The AR finder shows your spots in the camera view. Navigation takes you there by camera or compass, with the distance in big numbers. Within a rod length the bar turns green and your iPhone vibrates, so you don’t have to keep looking at the screen.

  • AR finder: all your spots in the camera view, with name and distance
  • Navigate by camera or compass, distance easy to read
  • Vibration and a green bar as soon as you’re within a rod length
  • Ruler on the map: tap two points, read off the distance

In the bivvy and at home

The logbook that almost fills itself in

Logging a catch takes seconds: photo, species, weight. SpotNav adds the spot, time and session for you. Over time you’ll see when, where and on what you catch.

  • Catches in seconds

    Photos, species, weight. The app does the rest.

  • Sessions, blanks included

    Arrive, start the session, end it when you pack up. No fish? It counts as a blank, which keeps your stats honest.

  • Weather with every catch

    Air pressure and trend, wind, cloud cover and moon phase, added automatically. Weather data from the German Weather Service (DWD), currently for waters in Germany.

  • Baiting log

    What, how much and on which spot. Time and session are added for you.

  • Stats Premium

    Best times, best spots, best baits and the conditions when you got the bite.

Stats: 10 catches, 4 sessions, 75% success rate, 84.8 hours, 1 blank. Charts of the best times of day (6 to 9 am) and best months (September), with catches per spot below
Session at the Blauer See, 2 to 4 October, 42.8 hours, 3 catches. Conditions on arrival: 14 °C, 1016 hPa falling, westerly wind 18 km/h, overcast, last quarter, weather data from the Deutscher Wetterdienst. Catches and baiting below
