#Navionics android app reviews update

Navionics offers a free two-week free trial after which the charts must be purchased to continue using the app. The new update of the 2020 Navionics Boating app comes with a multiple chart-overlay option that allows you to use different content combinations and has been enhanced further with Navionics Satellite Overlay with SonarChart Shading. Crosshairs allow for easy waypoint placement and access to local weather and tide information. I have traditionally used a Garmin GPSMap 76cs Plus handheld plotting GPS.

Charts, once downloaded, are stored on the device for offline use. For reviews of another great mobile chartplotter app, see my review of MotionX GPS. There is also no true navigation function and some functions may not work once you lose phone service on the water. Probably the most popular navigation app, Navionics utilizes vector charts and allows the user to connect to some chartplotters via Wi-Fi to transfer routes and waypoints. The Navionics app also doesnвЂ™t allow you to hide any marks youвЂ™ve created or returned to the same mark twice. Pros: Easy to use with no frills road maps are useful for trailer boatersД¬ons: Android only road maps require access to network Navionics Distances can be displayed in nautical or statute miles or kilometers to suit the operator's preference. As with other apps, you can create, edit, input, and view waypoints and use the measure tool to quickly measure between two points on the chart. It is possible to use BlueStacks, or another Android emulator, to run the Navionics app. To add to functionality, the app also features road maps, but these are only available when the device is connected to cell or Wi-Fi service. This Android-only app offers offline raster charts in addition to access to the Active Captain interactive guidebook.
