Navionics® Boating

Unfotunately the user expirience went down for me after Garmin took over. Main complate is the ‘chart veiwer’ funcion is no longer available on my MacBook. I use to use this function to research potential trips all over the world. When I resigned myself to attempting this on my iPhone app, Garmin demanded I purchase the charts! Really Garmin… you think I want to pay to extra to look at a map one time? I will be changing to Skippo when my subscriåtion runs out.

I really like Navionics Boating.. Especially autorouting.. Of course it use be checked, and amended as necessary, but still a very good took.. And I also love the interface with NMEA so I get AIS and position from the network. Resently depth disappeared from the APP. Earlier it was displayed in lower left corner.. Also depth / sonar is not displayed under connected devices.. Please get it back :) Would also love wind arrows to be transferred :)

Har en ipad i båten og en hjemme som brukes aktivt med Navionics til planlegging mm. Har og instalert på min iPhone, men nå er det kun mulig med to iOS enheter dette endre bruker opplevelsen mye for min del og er ikke bra 😞 Dette er ikke bra!

Hvis retning er Syd og visning er baug opp står alle navn opp/ned.

Like the app in general, but the route plotting option seem to be quite unreliable. I spend hours plotting a route up the coast, and then the app just crashes. This happens several times. And the options for saving routes halfway and editing them later are quite counterintuitive and not so greatly implemented. Improvements to the the route planing features would greatly improve the app.

Previous functionality for editing manually plotted routes seems to be gone in this so-called upgrade. Previously you could press a waypoint to get an opportunity to delete it when editing a manual route. Also, you could just press the line between two waypoints to put in a new intermediate waypoint in between the two previously routed. The usual routine when plotting a new route would be to put just a few waypoints first for a crude route with mostly straight lines and then add more waypoints as needed to fine tune the final route before syncing with my Raymarine MDF. With this app, the only possibility you seem to get when editing a route is to remove the last waypoint. This makes plotting a manual route very cumbersome! I started out with Navionics at the very early stage where you bought the map once and for all (like a paper chart). It was both cheaper and better than paper charts in my opinion. Then they changed the concept to yearly subscriptions (with an app upgrade where you lost your previously bought map) along with a huge success commercially coinciding with a tremendous growth in users willing to pay. Ok, the product was still good, developing and the maps where upgraded, so I decided to support the project and would pay my yearly fee. Now, with the recent upgrades you risk being tricked into paying for the same product twice (if you install HD version on your IPAD and the regular version on your phone). With the amount of sonar data sea bed mapping that now is being gathered by end users and uploaded to Navionics for free, Navionics should probably go for a discount instead of a price rise... In addition the functionality seems to be diminishing instead of improving. Getting people to pay more for a worse quality product seems to be a short term genius from a greedy point of view. However, I don’t think that strategy will be very stainable. There are many free alternatives to electronic marine charts... Functionality within the app better be This issue regarding manual routing needs a fix before I am willing to pay another yearly fee.

Det første jeg finner i appen er potensielt farlige feil i kartdataene rundt Nøtterøy/Tjøme området. Obs: alltid sjekk med andre data evt. papirkart om du bruker denne appen! Jeg sletter appen umiddelbart.

Choosing "head up" makes the map lag all the time, so I cannot navigate at all. A must fix or uninstall. Otherwise app seems good.

Selvom du har kjøpt kartpakke for IPad må man kjøpe på nytt om du ønsker kartet på IPhone..

Bra app👍🏻 Ble litt kluss før jeg fant ut hvordan jeg får vist ruten på Lowrance Elite 7 ti. Jeg måtte inn på filer å finne ruten der, for så å importere denne før jeg fant den igjen under ruter og kunne vise den i kartet.
