Single-Use and Maintenance Plans

When a subscription lapses and customers do not choose to renew, they can purchase a Maintenance plan that allows access to trip analysis but restricts access to new uploads. Costs of the maintenance plans depend on the customer’s storage. The maintenance fee is included with any yearly subscription plan.


Single-use subscriptions allow a single sonar log upload up to a total size of 4 GB. The term is 30 days from the transaction date. If users wish to upload more than one sonar log, they must purchase another single-use subscription(s). For continued access to uploads after the 30 day term, the user must purchase a maintenance plan with the appropriate level of storage

Semi-automated processing of high-resolution satellite images maps emergent floating, and near the surface, aquatic vegetation in wetlands and lakes. Benthic habitats are classified using the coastal and marine ecological classifications standard. Exportable Lowrance® and Simrad® GPS Charts, ESRI Shapefiles, and Automated Summary reports of the Total Area of Each Classification are created automatically.

Key Features
  • High resolution GIS polygon creation of habitat objects (e.g., vegetation beds, coastal reefs)
  • User controlled class lumping and naming
  • Lowrance or Simrad custom GPS charts of classifications created automatically
  • Automated HTML reports summarizing areas of each habitat classification
  • Ability to download classification GIS shapefiles
  • Custom polygon tool that executes intersections within an area of interest
  • Train or validate classifications with on-the-ground data
  • Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS) used for coastal habitat typing
  • Organization sharing
