Bathydata in Olex

Olex calculates seafloor maps using data from sonar/echo sounder and GPS. For each depth measured, the map becomes more and more accurate. The calculation of seafloor maps is completely automatic and requires no operation. There is no limit to the number of depths that can be handled. The seafloor map can be viewed in 2D with depths or relief, or in 3D with virtual camera. Bottom zoom can be used to highlight selected depth ranges. In addition, there are some special functions such as calculation of water and bottom mass volume. There are also tools for searching and cleaning poor depth data.

  • Sharing sea floor data


    Olex users are encouraged to share their sea floor data. This data sharing is free of charge and are organized by Olex AS. After sending their own sea floor data to their dealer or to Olex AS the users will get access to a database with collected depths from other Olex users all over the world. The data sharing has become popular among the users, and more than five billion measured depths now forms the basis for a comprehensive sea floor map. This information is valuable for fishermen and other seafarers. The exchange of data can be done by e-mail, USB-device or cloud based services.
