### 5/5 — Simple, old-school, and free. Works for me!

*2024-07-07*

This is a simple app: basic nautical maps underneath a location-aware dot.

If you’re looking for basic depth and feature info, this works. The other reviewer mentioned that the maps are outdated — this might be true in places that the river has been shoved around by people or tides, but from Sauvie Island to The Dalles I haven’t seen any glaring issues.

### 1/5 — Outdated charts 1983

*2021-03-31, version 3.5*

Poor charts outdated.
