Erie Canal

The Erie Canal is a navigable channel in New York, connecting Albany on the Hudson River to Buffalo and Lake Erie. This 338 miles waterway is now used for recreational boating and links many historical towns on the north of the state.

Users can plot their location on the map and share it with family, friends and other users.
Integration with the Maps app allows users to get detailed directions to reach docks and marinas by car.
On iPhones, the app allows users to call lockstations and marinas along the canal.
