Several times this summer I’m running through narrow channels using my chart plotter and although I am visibly in the center of the channel, and my plotter shows I’m in the center, my wife’s android phone with Navionics shows us on land. That happened 3 times in different locations. My friend was on the boat earlier in the summer and his iPhone/Navionics identified the same problem, different location. My plotter always seemed to be correct, while the Navionics on the phones doesn’t give me the confidence. I’m in a rocky area and 50ft variation can be the difference between a hole in the bottom or not. I’m sure the variation between devices was 100-200ft. I use the Navionics as a backup at best.

I have found here in mexico that the charts on the plotter aren't as accurate as on the androids. You would think that for $250 for the plotter Navionics charts they would be more accurate than the $21 phone charts. Just voicing my displeasure in Navionics. Which BTW is owned by Garmin.
