Liked it when it was affordable, but forcing me to pay much more yearly for features I don't care about deals me out. If the added features are that great people would be happy to pay, but still offer a basic "here you are, here's what the bottom basically does on this lake". Will keep Humminbird app, where I own the maps, which have better accuracy and detail

From a few days ago the app always crashes when network changes. And at sea it surely changes a lot! But the stars are even lower because it always changes when you get to your destination and to the cell towers that comes with it. Exactly when you most need it!! Not acceptable in this kind of app.

Got "unable to calculate route"... Tried setting boat draft to lower value and now calculates routes but always puts us offshore when there is a much shorter inshore route. You cannot exclude offshore roures but once the route is active you can click "edit" then automatic. Press and hold on the route and drag it inshore and release. You have to play with it s bit but will ultimately auto route inshore instead. Thank you to Garmin Italy support for your response.

If you are trying to create a route in near-shore waters like the ICW, we suggest adding route points to do so. https://tinyurl.com/9kzk6m3d Auto Guidance+ attempts to route through the safest water available. Email help@navionics.com with SPK10346 in the subject with a screenshot of your start and end points, and boat settings for further help.
