A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
- receive, at a marine electronics device of a marine vessel, one or more environmental measurements during a fishing trip, wherein the one or more environmental measurements comprise at least one of a location of the marine vessel or a water temperature;
- determine input criteria comprising at least one of a location, a date, a wind direction, a water temperature, or a species, wherein at least a portion of the input criteria is determined automatically without user input and based on the received one or more environmental measurements;
- retrieve fishing data relevant to the input criteria from a database, wherein the fishing data comprises fishing records from a plurality of users;
- analyze the retrieved fishing data to determine one or more suggested fishing locations based on the input criteria;
- retrieve one or more suggestions relevant to the input criteria, wherein the one or more suggestions comprise one or more areas suggested for fishing;
- and
- display, on a screen of the marine electronics device, the suggestions on a map such that the one or more areas suggested for fishing are highlighted on the map with respect to remaining areas on the map using at least one of a plurality of repeated-patterned dots, one or more colors, or shading that cover an entirety of each of the one or more areas suggested for fishing.
