Shoreline map · $9 per area
Your coast for every year since 2017, with where it retreats and where it grows, as a map and as files. Free in Business, once a month in Skipper.
Prices in US dollars, tax included. Secure payment by Paddle, our reseller and merchant of record. Depths are satellite estimates, not for navigation.
What do I get for free?
Every published depth map with depth at a tap, your draft tinted in red, ten planned routes a day, and today's go / no-go for your craft. Paddler adds the week ahead and the files; Skipper and Business add new areas.
What is an "area"?
A square of 0.25° by 0.25° (about 27 km on a side). Every map on ShoalScope is made of these squares; you can order one or draw a rectangle of up to four.
How long does a new area take?
About 15 minutes per depth area and about 10 minutes per shoreline area. You get an email when it is ready, and the order page shows the progress live.
What if the water is too murky or too deep?
You still get the map with an honest accuracy score; areas with no water at all are refused before you pay.
Can I cancel?
Yes, any time from your account page. You keep the areas and shoreline maps you ordered.
