Route planner buggy

I’ve been Aquamaps user for a year. Been using it while doing Great Loop. Good thing about the app is it allows you to overlay other mapping sources like Army Corps of Engineers survey data on chart. Bad thing is that Route Planner is buggy and sometimes just won’t work. This is my second time reaching out to support. Hopefully it will get fixed one day and be able to complete with the other nautical chart apps.

Nav aid

Best thing I’ve ever used for coastal navigation! It’s makes navigation life soooo much easier. Amazing! Thank you!

Limited number of waypoints

You can only transfer / backup 3000 waypoints

lots of info- easy to use

Switched from Competing App

This App is great. I switched from Navionics as Aqua Map is much better value and it doesn't have the restrictive two device limit that Navionics has. I find the interface to be modern and easy to use and I haven't found any features I need missing. I'm happy to support this developer.
