The little app that Out-navigates my big electronics

I normally do not write reviews, but I want to take a moment for this one. When I first tried Argo, it worked fine on my phone but not well on my Android tablet. Working with the developer, we determined the tablet was simply old. He optimized the software anyway, which helped, and when I upgraded my tablet the improvement was huge.

I am a full-time boating user, captaining yachts up to 80 feet, and I also do product reviews and install marine electronic systems. The customer service here is second to none, and the ease of use makes Argo my go-to app. I may have $50,000 or more in Garmin electronics installed on the boat, but I keep picking up my tablet and using Argo.
