Ratings and reviews

I've been using this app for a few years now. I typically use it to plan a trip when I'm home and don't have Island Girl's chart plotter. For short boat trips when I don't want to mess with the chart plotter I will use it for watching my speed. I use the ftee version so for the price it is great. I wish there was a way to save a few plotted courses but I think that is available if you subscribe. An AIS option would be nice to track shipping etc. I use a separate app for that.

This app saved my butt!! I was trying to make it into a narrow channel late at night with no moon. Couldn't see any land. The app helped me find channel bouys and the gps told me exactly where I was in relation to everything. The heading and speed information is also very helpful. I seem to remember it having a waypoint function but I haven't figured out how to make it dynamically change based on where exactly I am. It may not be a feature and it would be nice

The program seems nice. The weather overlay takes a while to load on my phone, but it works well. I do not see that I am able to load maps offline, so at this point, I would not be able to trust it for use at sea. Also, I do not see anywhere to bookmark locations. It's a great start for a navigation program if those two features could be developed.
