Coming soon in Echoview 16: new maps and time sliders in cruise tracks

Echoview 16 sneak peek, new maps and time sliders in cruise tracts
30 July, 2025

Echoview 16 is coming soon! We’re sharing some sneak peeks of innovative new features designed to elevate your hydroacoustic analyses, enhance data visualization, and make your workflows even more efficient.

Firstly, we’re giving our cruise track windows an overhaul, including new maps for the background of your GPS data. We’re leveraging Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) protocols to give you more detailed, higher quality, faster maps, and the ability for you to select from built-in options or connect to your own WMTS server.

You’ll also be able to use time sliders on your cruise track windows, making it easier to assess the context of your data, especially during long surveys or for overlapping transects.

Thanks to Milne Technologies for permission to use this data (a subset of which is also used in our Introduction to Bottom Classification tutorial).

Echoview 16 will be available for beta testing in the coming weeks, and will be officially released later in 2025.
