River Cruises Atlas -USA app for iPhone and iPad

Our specialized zoomable atlas product covers popular freshwater and coastal small cruise ship ports (and related cruising and land destinations) on the major rivers and sheltered coastal waterways of the USA and is available in the languages of English [the Default], Spanish, French, and German. The app generates a series of custom real-time regional maps showing colored markers where popular cruise ports (and related destinations) are located. Also included are maps and facts for each of these ports [red & orange markers] and for related slow-cruising locations [blue markers] and nearby popular land destinations [yellow markers].

Using the RivCr-USA tab, select the region of general interest by tapping the desired area outlined in red on the map of the USA. A list of available numbered destinations in that selected region will then be displayed, as well as a button to display an overview map of the selected area showing colored markers at the locations of all of the popular destinations in that area. Tap the name of the desired destination in the list to display a detail map of that destination.

If you give permission in the Privacy Settings of your device, this version will also show your current location on the maps as a pulsating blue circular marker. If you adjust the map being displayed, your current location will be automatically updated using your devices GPS location.
