Navionics for the iPhone


Recommended Posts

Just wanted to pass along my experience with the Navionics chartplotter ap for the iPhone. I had a chance to try it out minimally last weekend and found that it does pretty much what it advertises. It gives you nautical charts on the iPhone with tap to open reference for buoys, marinas, tide and current information as well as the usual GPS tracking, routes, waypoints and favorites. For the price it is a nice backup to a real chartplotter. I paid $9.99 at the iTunes store for it. I think it's pretty cool to have on your brick.

Never really thought about using it for navigation. My thought would be to have it there for a back-up crumb line just in case.....I currently have an older garmin 76 handheld, non-charting, monochrome I use as a backup. It will navigate pretty well point to point, but I usually just power it up and leave it on the dash to draw a line just in case. I figured that in case I forget the garmin, I would always have my phone, and for the price of the app, what the heck!
