Just wanted to highlight a couple of recent changes we've made to the
'Search' screen and POI's. These changes are 'server side' which
means you don't need to update your app to see the changes.

Please try these out and let us know what you think.

1. Marinas.com Listing Improvement
- We added Marinas.com listings with v1.2 which feature thousands of
high-quality aerial photos of marinas, inlets, and lots more - you can
select this from the top category in Search by tapping the 'tool' icon
- Each location has multiple photos and you can now browse these
directly in the 'details' of each POI

2. Improved Weather, Tide, and POI search
We had many reports that the Weather and Tide results didn't always do
well at showing nearby locations. We've updated how search is handled
and you should always get:
- the closest 20 weather locations (buoys, forecasts, airports)
- the closest 50 tide locations
- the closest 150 navaids
Please let us know if you think we should provide more results for any
of these categories.

V,

I saw some photos but not in every Marina.com search result. Not sure it that's correct or not. 

General comment on the "clutter". We need a super easy way for users to select and de-select various elements and I'm not sure gong through settings is the right call. I know you and Andrew have been thinking about this.  Lets review tonight....

Best,

Brad
