Thank you for sharing your experience - we’re genuinely sorry to hear about your frustration, and we fully understand how important accurate maps are for making the most of your Deeper Quest Bait Boat. We appreciate the chance to respond and clarify the situation.
The maps used in our FishDeeper app are provided by OpenStreetMap (OSM), which is a global community-driven project used by many platforms like Garmin, Strava, and others. Since OSM is maintained by contributors, there can occasionally be inaccuracies in less popular or private lakes - like the outline (border) of your syndicate lake.
We completely respect the effort you took in arranging for the lake's borders to be updated on OpenStreetMap, and we appreciate you taking the time to improve the map data. However, it’s important to clarify that syncing updates from OSM to our FishDeeper app is handled by another third-party service, and the timing of these updates depends on many factors, including the nature and scale of the changes made in OSM. Unfortunately, this process is not instant and isn’t directly controlled by us. We are not in touch with that service provider to understand the ETA of when the map change sync can be expected.
As of now, we’ve checked, and the outline of your lake still hasn’t been updated on OpenStreetMap - it appears unchanged. Until those updates are reflected in OSM itself, they won’t appear in our app either.
To help in the meantime, I’d like to remind you that you can view your depth maps at https://maps.fishdeeper.com, where you have the option to switch to a satellite map view - which may offer a more accurate visual reference for your lake, regardless of the OpenStreetMap outline.
As for the support experience, I’d like to apologize if my responses felt unclear or inconsistent. It was never my intention to cause confusion. I’ve tried to be transparent throughout this process, but I fully understand how this delay feels disappointing.
We’re grateful for your support and for sharing your experiences, including your positive TikTok review - it really means a lot to us.
If there’s anything else I can help with, or if you’d like to discuss further options, feel free to reach out directly. We’re here to assist.
