Not accurate for Minnesota lakes

AtomOfThe North

These maps look like they were copied from old DNR maps and many high def maps are highly inaccurate. They only have sonar imagery for 5 lakes in MN and it looks wrong or off in many areas, as well as streaky. If I’m paying for the information I want it to be legit. Stick with Humminbird and Lakemaster if you’re in MN.

Needs some attention. Please fix it.

Several years ago this was the best. Now it does not stack up. It has not improved in 3 years. My biggest complaint is that I cannot use it on the intracoastal waterway on a leg of more than 20 miles. That makes it useless as a planning tool. It constantly throws a “too many points” error message on a leg of any length. I have a slow sailboat, but I still can make 40-60 miles in a day. This needs to be fixed or I will not renew. I received a relatively lame response and was send to a web address to learn than a route is limited to 200 points. I was told to break my day into multiple legs. That is not “dock to dock routing.” That is a pill. If you have ever seen their routes you can see that a route should be 2000 points, not 200. This should not be a difficult change for Navionics.

Horrible app if you need dependability.

I’ve had multiple iPads and iPhones and you cannot do a crossing of any significant distance without this app glitching out on you many times. When it does, it doesn’t save your tracks. Only buy this app if you’re okay with it freezing up on you randomly. ***WOULD NOT REPURCHASE*** I am a full-time live aboard sailor. Just finished a 750 mile trek and this app ruined many memories I thought would auto save.

PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!

One feature that would make this app amazing is the ability to save a track as a route! You can currently save a track but there is not any way to follow it once it is saved for a future trip!?

Amazing software

I can’t believe all the negative reviews this app gets. I’ve used it for six years as a liveaboard sailor. We’ve sailed from Maine to the Bahamas and Caribbean as far as Dominica multiple times and its been incredibly accurate, much better than the charts on my new Raymarine chartplotter, which cost five times as much. I chart all my routes with this app and follow it using my iPad. I just use my chart plotter as a backup. If I had to give up one, it would be the chartplotter. Keep up the great work guys and gals. As for the naysayers I’ve got a barely used sextant I’ll sell you for cheap.

Auto routing

Had the app on my android tablet it worked ok by all means not perfect. I now have a Apple tablet and after up dating using the automatic route to plan a route it only allows so many waypoints then cancels out. It’s a pain when in the ICW you have to put in many route to travel what one did in my android tablet. Very disappointed.

Screen freezes

Had this app for a few years and always pay for the subscription. Up until now this has been a valuable piece of kit. However recently the app freezes up constantly and is inoperable. Also it will no longer sync with my Simrad NSS Evo 3 so won’t upload waypoints, tracks etc. what happened?

Only 1.000 Markers on Apple devices

GOG robbery

Navionics is a good app and has great maps, however, on Apple devices you can only save 1,000 markers whereas on Android you can have way more… I quite don’t understand why such limitation on IOS only. I will review my report as soon as I get a reasonable reply or Navionics fix that limitation on IOS

A pain needs work

You can’t turn the app off once you turn it on. I can’t see where to create waypoints. Turning this off should be easy and not a puzzle! I logged out and it is still operating!

Great when it works

I’ve been using Navionics for at least a few years now and have been very happy with it, I mark spots and can go right back to them, perfect! Problem that I have now is that it won’t open up and let me use it, I’ve been having lots of issues with it. One day it works the next day it won’t even open up. Very frustrating when you’re fishing and won’t be back there for another year
