Talking Tech: The best boating apps for your day on the lake

If a day on the lake is coming soon, consider downloading these three apps to make your day safe and enjoyable.

The Boat Ramps app will come in handy before you even get in the water. With knowledge of over 50,000 boat ramps and marinas nationwide, this app will help you find the closest ramp to get your boat in the water.

For all things boat safety, the U.S. Coast Guard app will allow recreational boaters to report hazards in the water and get local navigation rules.

iNavX, a boating navigation app, allows access to marine charts and maps and updates conditions on the water, including currents, winds and swells.
