Ratings and reviews

I have a full B&G setup on my boat including a Vulcan9, two Triton2 displays, and a lot of NMEA2k sensors. I was hoping this would augment the system well. Instead it is full of bugs. On both my phone and iPad, I fail to see wind data even though color legends show up, no indicators show up on the maps. There is an "explore nearby" section that eternally stays in a loading (flashing) mode regardless of internet strength. What it does do is allows a screen mirroring of my Vulcan.

I was happy with it at first, however in order to sign into the app you must have an internet connection. Once signed in the connection is no longer needed. I had to reboot and then needed internet to get back in. Unacceptable if I depend on it. The good news. The chart download is very flexible and the charts are clear and can be zoomed in as much as you want. It offered contour lines as an option which made depths very clear. Routes are easy. Create a start & finish the app does the rest.

I have a lot of B&G equipment on my boat. A big fan of the products. This app, not so much. Pretty much nothing works. Have deleted it and re-installed a few times. Now I have a blank map screen. If I go into select menu items (usually download offline maps) the app closed. I know from experience, if the app closes enough times, the maps show up (not always complete however) Nothing works consistently. IF the maps show up, not all the channel markers show up . Woods hole has a sea of channel markers. None are showing up at all now. Sometimes only shows a chart segment of a select area. See like 18 boats on AIS. I KNOW there are a TON of boats with AIS on nearby ( I can see in other apps) . Using (at this writing) a new Galaxy S21 Ultra. Plenty of power and space on the device. Nice to see my plotter data here. I wish i could see details about map items in a popup (like channel marker details, etc) Been playing with the app for a couple hours. Can't get it to work with any consistency. Maybe it is me, but there is no way this could be a chartplotter replacement. Can be useful for updating chart items (waypoints, etc) It should not be this hard. Rebooted and cleared data several times. Not ready for prime time, sadly. I really wanted this app to work.
