I just bought the app Navionics for my Iphone. Opinions?
I would appreciate any ■■■■■■■■ about the app that people can give me… I am using this until I can afford a GPS, but want to be safe coming in at night and in unfamiliar areas.
I saw in the app you can buy upgrades… Has anyone bought any of them? I cant find a discription of what else the upgrades offer. So I am hoping yall can explain
Optional upgrades beyond the Navionics are… (please explain what they add to the application or you opinions if you have any on the purchased add ons)
Navionics+ 4.99? Any clue?
Nav Module 1.99? Does the app not come with a nav mode?
Autorouting 3.99? Is this needed and what is the purpose?
advanced map options 3.99? Any clue would be helpful
Thanks as always for the helpfulness of this site!
I use it and find it very helpful. Several nice features on it are that you can drop a pin on a waypoint and even take a picture of that spot to save to the waypoint. Be sure to download the map of the area that you will be in and that saves to your phone. The track feature is also very helpful. Keep in mind though, just like any app that runs the GPS it will drain your battery so I recommend have a charger or open and close the app as needed. Even when running the new iOS7 and the app is open in the background it will drain battery so close it out.
I like it and use it as a back up for my GPS. It tracks pretty well and s great for scouting potential new spots. It does drain my IPhone fast. Definitely keep a charger on the boat for your phone
