BioBase’s primary strength is an automated map creation engine designed to take thousands raw of data signals from your Lowrance and rapidly summarize them into informative maps. These maps have helped aquatic resource professionals throughout the globe make more informed aquatic management decisions.
But BioBase also creates maps that are rather pleasing to the eye and many have asked how they might be able to create customized digital or print maps for their clients. We offer two solutions that will help you create professional quality maps. First, we offer basic support of viewing and analyzing BioBase data in QGIS and have produced several do-it-yourself tutorials that are available in your BioBase Support & Resources. Second, we offer GIS Services to BioBase customers who lack expertise in GIS or the proper software licenses. Below we present a gallery of images from these projects. Identities and locations of projects have been changed or omitted to protect the privacy of the customers.
We’ll create a map for you!
Navico offers custom GIS services where interested customers fill out an order form specifying their needs. Navico GIS staff will transfer the appropriate BioBase data to ArcMap 10.x and any ancillary GIS shapefiles (e.g., sampling waypoints or other points of interest) and produce a custom-sized, high resolution digital map that you can have printed online or at a local print shop. Email us at info.biobase@navico.com to get print and pricing details.

Multiple BioBase maps can be combined into one map and exported as any image format and custom sized. Send us your logo and we’ll add it to the map. |
 |
Request transparency to the image to show floating leaf vegetation in the aerial imagery. |
 |
Send us points of interest to add to the map. In this case, navigation hazards in front of a land owner’s property |
 |
Send us sediment depth point data and if sufficient, we’ll interpolate and create a sediment depth map (left) and pare it with other BioBase maps (in this case aquatic vegetation biovolume). |
 |
Would you like to add water body statistics? We’ll add full lake summaries or summaries by depth. You tell us the contour interval and units. |

An example where a customer desired to simulate the pond depth at a significantly higher water elevation than when mapped with BioBase. Customer used survey-grade GPS to generate precise land elevation data while walking along the soon-to-be-inundated shore. Customer submitted these point elevation data to Navico along with a high-water shoreline for incorporation into the lake map. |
If you have any custom mapping or presentation needs with your BioBase data contact us today at info.biobase@navico.com and we’ll provide you with an order form and generate a quote and delivery timeline for your map.
