The canal system near where I live is severly lacking. They are so small i cant use them as a starting point and there are huge lakes between them missing. This makes it impossible to ise the app to navigate to open water. Needs a lot of updating. So dissapointing as the app looks nice and i would like to use.

Hi Jeremy - thanks for taking a look at the app. We did start by building chart data in coastal regions and are adding more and more inland lakes and rivers now. Can you email me on david@savvy-navvy.com please and we can then look at which region specifically you're interested in. Thanks,

I love the interface and easy to see navigation screen. It is pricey, but once you factor in the amount of data (weather, currents, tides, wind etc) built in, it is a pretty fair price....almost a bargain. Two complaints which prevent 5 stars at the moment. 1 - The GPS position seems slow to update. I often found myself over-correcting my heading because of this. 2 - trip plotting is not very intuitive. I generally have to set my destination multiple times before it accepts.

I want to like this app more than I do, however, it's little things that prevent me from doing so. First off is GPS tracking. Most of the time, it doesn't know where I am. Permissions are enabled, and I've dug through app settings, but this is primarily a planning app on my phone. I look at a sister app it works with to find anchorages, sail with an iPhone themed app that actually tracks where I am (with a horrible UI), and check weather with two other iterations of apps. It's so close!
