FAQ

Does fishtrapp.app work with Garmin ECHOMAP and GPSMAP?

Yes. Export waypoints from ECHOMAP or GPSMAP as GPX (via SD card or ActiveCaptain), then import to fishtrapp.app. Everything you log on the phone exports back as GPX you can drop onto your unit.

How does it pair with LiveScope?

fishtrapp.app reads the lake — LiveScope reads the fish. Drop a pin when LiveScope shows you a school, log the catch by voice, and the AI ties depth, structure, season, and weather into a repeatable pattern. Direct LVS log ingest is on the roadmap.

Can it help with my Garmin Force trolling motor?

Yes. The motor troubleshooter covers Force pedal, prop, GPS anchor, and pairing issues alongside Mercury, Yamaha, Lowrance Ghost, and Minn Kota.

Do I need an Apple Watch or Garmin watch to use voice logging?

No. Voice logging works directly from your phone. Tap Drop Pin, talk, and the AI parses your catch into a structured entry.

Is it free?

Yes — core features are free. A pro tier with tournament reports and advanced analytics is planned.
