I've always paid for Garmin updates and enjoyed their products. But I saw
Navionics on a friend's tablet and thought I'd try that.
I paid $21 for an annual subscription to Navionics for the entire US and
Canada. and the same subscription applies to three devices; my PC, my cell
phone and a fut
I have been using Navionics for the past 4 years for Great Lakes cruising. Best
investment I ever made when it comes to navigation. You won’t be sorry.

I’ve been using Navionics on a pedestal-mounted iPad for years
(also have it on my phone), and it works fine for what I need on Lake Erie.
However, I was chastised by someone on this list for previously reporting this.

Hi Chuck
I had Navionics on my Windows Surface tablet running windows 8.1 RT. I had all
the charts and price was good. Loved it
When I upgraded to a Windows 10 tablet Navionics was available but the charts
were not. Even if I owned them. That was not running a tablet OS but rather

Works great with Apple products. The only issue I have with Navionics is that
you need a specific version if you want to interface with Garmin gear.

Unless it improved recently, the Navionics display of AIS targets is about 20
years behind everyone else’s. If you don’t care about that it is a decent
program.
I have been using Aquamap and SeaIQ on the i-things and OpenCPN on the computer.

I will add that Navionics stops upgrading on older iPads, rendering them of
dubious value for important updates (like depth changes).

FWIW, I use WAZE in the car running on my cell phone. It warns of police and
heavy traffic based on so many other WAZE users on the same highway. I expect
it may not be long before boats are shown on other boat's chartplotters as

Waze is a power hog. Better have your phone plugged in.
I really like my RAM mount for the iPad. A ball is “permanently” attached
(U-bolted) to the top of the pedestal and stays in place. The rest of the
mount attaches to the ball and is stowed down below when not in use. I

I have Navionics on both of my android phones and on my chart plotters. 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 voi
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

The inaccuracy may not be with the data in Navionics, it may be the result of
the location information in the phone.
When I got my current Samsung (android) phone I had the option of using a
“standard” or “precise” location (or some term to that effect). My presumption
was that pr
Rick, I agree with you, could be the phone. This should at least be a note to
all those that use the phone to navigate….check your settings and accuracy
before you assume.

As you point out, Navionics is owned by Garmin.
The new chart plotter that I bought a few months ago came with Bluechart G2
charts standard, and Navionics charts were a no cost option.
For a fee I could upgrade to Bluechart G3, which was basically the same Garmin
