Abstract

A system for providing the location of a planer board is provided. In an embodiment, the system includes one or more computer devices and one or more computer processors. The system includes (A) a planer board application (planer board app) embodied in instructions stored by the one or more computer devices. When the planer board app is executed by the one or more computer processors, the planer board app is configured to: (i) receive inputs from a GPS locator module. The planer board app is further configured to receive user inputs for (ii) a lure line length for a planer board and (iii) a boat line length to the planer board. (B) The planer board app generates a planer board track based on the inputs from (i)-(iii). (C) The planer board app also includes a user interface, such that the planer board app is further configured to display the planer board track on the user interface.

Claims (58)

1. A system for providing the location of a planer board, the system comprising:

one or more non-transitory computing devices;

one or more computer processors;

(A) a planer board application (planer board app) embodied in instructions stored by the one or more computer devices that, when executed by the one or more computer processors, is configured to:

(i) receive inputs from a GPS locator module;

the planer board app further configured to receive user inputs for

(ii) a lure line length for a planer board; and

(iii) a boat line length to the planer board;

(B) the planer board app generating a planer board track based on the inputs from (i)-(iii); and

(C) the planer board app comprising a user interface, the planer board app further configured to display the planer board track on the user interface.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the (A)(i) inputs received from the GPS locator include (1) a boat speed and (2) a boat heading; and

(B) the planer board app generates the planer board track based on the inputs from (i)(1), (i)(2), (ii), and (iii).

3. The system of claim 2 wherein the planer board app calculates a drag angle from the inputs (i)(1), (i)(2), (ii), and (iii); and

the planer board app generates the planer board track from the drag angle.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the planer board app generates the planer board track based on changes to the inputs (i)(1), (i)(2), (ii), and (iii) in realtime.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the planer board app is configured to display the planer board track on a cartography on the user interface.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the planer board app displays the planer board track on a cartography on the user interface, showing motion of the boat and the planer board track on the display in realtime.

7. The system of claim 1 wherein the planer board app is configured to receive user inputs for:

(iv) a second lure line length for a second planer board;

(v) a second boat line length for the second planer board;

the planer board app generating a first planer board track and a second planer board track based on the inputs from (i)(v); and

the user interface is configured to display the first planer board track and the second planer board track on the user interface.

8. The system of claim 7 wherein the (A)(i) inputs received from the GPS locator include (1) a boat speed and (2) a boat heading;

the planer board app generates the first planer board track based on the inputs from (i)(1), (i)(2), (ii), and (iii); and

the planer board app generates the second planer board track based on the inputs from (i)(1), (i)(2), (iv), and (v).

9. The system of claim 8 wherein the planer board app calculates a first drag angle from the inputs (i)(1), (i)(2), (ii), and (iii);

the planer board app calculates a second drag angle from the inputs (i)(1), (i)(2), (iv), and (v);

the planer board app generates the first planer board track from the first drag angle; and

the planer board app generates the second planer board track from second first drag angle.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the planer board app generates the first planer board track and the second planer board track based on changes to the inputs (i)(1), (i)(2), (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v) in realtime.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the planer board app is configured to display the first planer board track and the second planer board track on a cartography on the user interface.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the planer board app displays the first planer board track and the second planer board track on a cartography on the user interface, showing motion of the boat, the first planer board track, and the second planer board track on the display in realtime.

13. A system for providing the location of a planer board, the system comprising:

one or more computer devices;

one or more computer processors;

(A) a planer board application (planer board app) embodied in instructions stored by the one or more computer devices that, when executed by the one or more computer processors, is configured to:

(i) receive inputs from a GPS locator module including

(1) a boat speed and

(2) a boat heading;

the planer board app further configured to receive user inputs for

(ii) a lure line length for a planer board; and

(iii) a boat line length to the planer board;

(B) the planer board app generating a planer board track based on the inputs from (i)-(iii); and

(C) the planer board app comprising a user interface, the planer board app further configured to display the planer board track on the user interface based on the inputs from (i)(1), (i)(2), (ii), and (iii).

14. A system for providing the location of a planer board, the system comprising:

one or more computer devices;

one or more computer processors;

(A) a planer board application (planer board app) embodied in instructions stored by the one or more computer devices that, when executed by the one or more computer processors, is configured to:

(i) receive inputs from a GPS locator module;

the planer board app further configured to receive user inputs for

(ii) a lure line length for a planer board; and

(iii) a boat line length to the planer board;

(B) the planer board app generating a planer board track based on the inputs from (i)-(iii);

(C) the planer board app comprising a user interface, the planer board app further configured to display the planer board track on the user interface, and receive user inputs for:

(iv) a second lure line length for a second planer board;

(v) a second boat line length for the second planer board;

the planer board app generating a first planer board track and a second planer board track based on the inputs from (i)(v); and

the user interface is configured to display the first planer board track and the second planer board track on the user interface.
