Maps does not download: error message

SheilaV23

I just got this app and when you tap the map to download- it gives an error message. I would eventually like to purchase if it works- but I will not be willing to risk paying for $20 bucks and it doesn’t work. Update: I contacted support on a weekend and they responded back within hours and gave me instruction on how to download the map. And it works!!!! Now I’m a satisfied customer. Will be trying the app out on the boat this weekend. So far, as I am reviewing it, it looks detailed and very useful. If it is what it set out to be, I will be purchasing this app.

Needs some things

I need answers

As a inland guy training for my masters I found the app to be cool. I run the ditch from Baton Rouge to Houston, so looking at this while I’m at home is a help to study on on my course. What would make for some improvement would be a way to pin notes. There’s a lot of bends and twist and things to remember about what bends you can hold the point and ones you need to keep wide, and radio check ins. It would be nice to be able to put notes so I can reference back at that location for learning.

Not good for inland

Was looking for something to use on inland lakes, not this, black hole in map for the lakes in my area. Waste of money!

Garbage free app

No Maps Available

I'm not sure what all the 5 star ratings are about. I kept clicking on regions to download freshwater lake maps (Large lakes with ports like Lake Coeur D'ALene, Pend O'rielle and Dworshak Reservoir in Idaho). Nothing comes up...just errors stating there is no data. Don't waste your time on this app. UPDATED: The developer contacted me about how to download the maps, which was helpful. I was clicking too long and holding down the tile too long. So I did a short click in the region where I wanted a map to test out the app. (Lake Coeur D'Alene area). It highlighted that area, but downloaded a map (my one free download of course) for the Columbia River in Washington instead. Nothing in Idaho shows up except for Priest Lake which is not where I go fishing. Something is off on your Idaho mapping system. Not going to try this again...if I can't see the detail of the lake I want before I purchase, I'm not going to buy it.

Very helpful & useful

This app seems to be the only app I’ve found to be useful and work to my liking. It includes everything you would want and expect in a chart-plotter. The charts are all vector and they have so many apps you can download, covering your cruising area using the grid . As with my Phone gps, the moving map works well and accurate . I would definitely recommend this app !

Great App

This app turns your iPhone into a full fledged plotter. Works very well with both built in GPS and external ones. Connected seamlessley with our NMEA router and pulls in AIS and other instruments data. Make sure to tap on the navigate icon when in the waters. Its turns on GPS autofollow and accurately shows where the boat is headed and where it has been.
