4. Can anyone see my fishing spots or anything that has to do with my account?

   No!  We do not share any of your personal information, your account is private and protected by bank level encryption.  Even when you decide to share an echo with friends and family on social media we stripe the pictures location information for you in the picture file and on the actual echo.  Try it and see!  20echo is a private tool for you to get better at being in the outdoors, we are not a social platform for bragging….unless you want to of course!

5. Do I need a cell signal for 20echo to work?

   You only need a cell signal to gather information for your echos, not for capturing them.  Every smart phone we are compatible with captures EXIF data which includes your GPS location, we couple that with the time you took the picture and use that to gather data.

6. Why does my data change after I refresh a picture?

   We checked again and the data changed, if it changes the change will always make the echo more accurate. Most forecasting services are using pictures that show data interpretations, we show the actual measurement which usually takes a little while to finalize.  We don’t predict, we deliver actual information that cannot get more accurate.

7. Does 20echo work everywhere?

   Yes. 20echo is global but there are some areas that will have different data than others, it just depends on what’s available.  If we can get it we are after it.
