Frequently Asked Questions
NautWise is an application that analyzes weather, wave and other information to provide you with the information you need to plan your day on Georgian Bay.
In the colder period between November and May, the live information for Georgian Bay is not available. This is because it is generated by buoys located around Georgian Bay. When these buoys are not active NautWise will show an indicator which is orange in colour. For all versions, (other than the FREE version), you can choose to run the application with information from the summer of 2023 by using the Demo feature. This can be activated by selecting “View”, then “Show Demo” from the NautWise menu.
