RASTER CHARTS vs. VECTOR CHARTS

The Land Information New Zealand Raster Nautical Charts in iSailGPS NZ differ from computer-drawn vector ENC charts in that each chart covers a specific area, the same way a paper nautical chart does. Switches automatically to a new chart when you leave the area covered by the previous chart. For many locations, there are multiple charts at different scales with different levels of detail & areas of coverage.

Paper charts can contain multiple panels, each showing a different area or scale. Each digital panel is individually displayed by iSailGPS NZ with a north-up orientation.

iSail GPS NZ is priced to make it readily available to all boating enthusiasts.

iSailGPS NZ and the charts that it includes do NOT meet the legal requirements for navigation using charts that you may be required to carry.


DEVICE REQUIREMENTS

Use iSailGPS on any iOS device even if you don't have a cellular data plan for it. iPhones & WiFi+cellular iPads support all features. For WiFi-only iPads, an iOS-compatible external GPS receiver is required to show your location & record tracks. You can view charts using the iOS device alone.

Discover a safer and more enjoyable sailing experience with iSailGPS NZ!

## ISailGPS NZ Reviews in New Zealand

### ***** "Awesome!"
Have used for 2 summers now & very happy with it. Being able to select track up as well as North up would be a useful feature.
-- J0nny45, 2023-09-22

### ***** "Excellent"
We have used iSail GPS NZ since we retired our home-built charting software. We thought we were smart, but iSail GPS NZ has impressive functionality delivered on a very usable platform (iPad). Recently had an issue with the iPad – my fault – and so contacted support. To say Larry was helpful is an understatement. His responses were prompt and comprehensive. Very much recommended.
-- R31415926, 2022-10-21

### *---- "Don’t use it"
This map is not clear , don’t waste your money loading this . Not very good
-- Fai02, 2022-10-18

### *---- "It’s rubbish"
Don’t waste your money!
It is not intuitive and there are far better nav apps available
It would be nice to have a trial option before purchasing - or did I miss it?
-- AKL yachtie, 2022-05-24

### ***** "awesome app to map fishing spots"
i was looking for an app to map a bundle of GPS coordinates id been given for fishing spots and this App was ideal. highly recommend
-- Taupo17, 2020-05-05

### ***** "Brilliant!"
If you love the New Zealand paper charts, this is the app for you! Clever interface allows you to download the charts (which have tiny file sizes) based on your current location. Double-tapping outside of your current chart switches to the adjacent chart. Really smart! Highly recommended.
-- Ade wx, 2019-10-18

### ***** "Great product, awesome price"
This app uses the official NZ Marine charts which look exactly like the paper charts because they are accurate LINZ scans, this is my preference as we usually have the paper chart on hand as well. The app is easy to learn and use so very happy. I also have used MacGPS Pro for 6 years with a laptop and that has been great as well. Two items of software from an excellent customer focused  company. You can even email the company founder Larry James direct and expect to get a prompt reply!
-- Ken Smith Auckland NZ, 2016-01-13
