Best app combining satellite photos with charts – PRO CHARTS - Marine Navigation Review

For the last three years I've gone up and down the ICW from NY to Key West and I've found this app invaluable. It starts with a chart view of an area and as you magnify the image, it changes to a satellite view. This is very useful for several reasons: - You can see the layout of a marina before entering from the satellite view so getting directions to your slip is less confusing, especially for very large marinas. - We have a dog on board so we'll look at an anchorage and see if there is a sandy area for dog relief. - Shallow areas show up lighter in color so we can see where shoaling is occurring before running through a shoaled area on the ICW. All of the above is possible with Google Earth but this app is much more convenient to use since it starts out with the familiar charts first and this app places the markers and buoys symbols right on the satellite view, Google Earth doesn't. It works well with a bluetooth GPS to show your position on the charts and satellite view as you move along.
