iNavX: Marine Navigation

Cannot update chart purchased at fugawi (navionics current - japan & pacific island) Everytime i tried to update list. Import error pops up. My internet connection is working @ 1mbps

My first app review… this is a must have for us as we are live aboard sailors. We use the app just about every day ether finding an anchorage or contacting a marina. One feature is that is not often spoken about is the talented support they have. I started the booking process, gotten an offer but thinking I had completed the process let it drop. The Navily team reached out an reminded me the offer was about to expire. I had a chance to jump in and complete my transaction thank you (Guiseppi and Guido). Guido went one step further when he saw that the marina misunderstood the info and helped to clear up for both sides. Within the app there are many cool features - but I will highlight one here. They have weather info to help rate an anchorage several days out. We love this we found it to be very helpful (though you may need the subscription version for this feature). One other feature we love is reading the reviews. You feel be out so much about the places through real visitors. Lastly, we have met many other boaters through the chat features. Wow what a great tool

not as advertised does not show vessels near me uses a lot of battery but shows my position very clearly

I contacted iNavX for help in buying the proper navigational charts for the Bahamas. I had multiple emails with a gentleman named Jim who recommended the iNavX professional + USA b/c it covered the Bahamas and the Waterway Guide -7-in-1 Bundle. After downloading the charts and guide I was unable to view any charts for the Bahamas. I got back in touch with Jim via email. He made multiple attempts to look at the Bahamas. He reported back that they no longer have charts for the Bahamas and I should request for a refund from the Apple Store. I applied for a refund and was told that no refund was possible for this purchase. I’m out $100 with nothing but garbage. Jim was very nice but the software is atrocious. Do not do business with this company!!!!!

Moved on. This is garbage.

No

I want to love this app because it provides access to NOAA raster charts. I’ve been using it for years and appreciate the ability to use raster charts on a mobile device. But as a navigation tool it has serious shortcomings. First, whenever you launch it it pops up ads for AIS subscriptions. No navigation app should interrupt you with ads. Second, the interface is ancient and hasn’t received a significant update in a decade (aside from incorporating ads for AIS overlays). Just try entering a lat/Lon position manually, for example! Third, switching between charts is incredibly clunky as well as buggy…sometimes the app thinks I don’t have any charts downloaded and only offers a blurry world chart. Fourth, while using the app it constantly recenters on you, which makes it extremely frustrating if you’re trying to explore your destination. I’ve provided this feedback to the developer and never received a response. My advice is to look elsewhere for a charting app, whether you’re a beginner or advanced user.

I love it especially when navigating new waters.

This is the one of the best apps for beginners. Easy to use and always available when I need it.

Can’t manually type in waypoint lat lon and save. You have to use the spinner control and then change spinner to ok selection. By the way, on the Mac version, that doesn’t work with. Just accept that you can’t adjust a waypoint once created on the Mac. Can’t enter a course distance to get next waypoint. Maps look great. Nice that you can get all the NOAA ENC maps. Would be nice if you could download groups other than singles or “all east coast”. Filter option would be nice to conserve download time and space on device. I’ll keep trying to use it.
