### 5/5 — Backup

*2021-04-09, version 85.0.0*

This app is a brilliant addition to any SatNav.

### 1/5 — Slow loading of charts hampers functionality

*2015-04-26, version 19.0.0*

A high price to pay bearing in mind how many other very good nav apps there are. Each chart takes an age to load into memory initially, and I had to start loading them individually because the app said my cruising area had too many charts to load concurrently. With this app that is MY problem. The only alternative is to load charts one at a time. Further, there are some rather bizarre situations where the map will only mesh together and display charts of the same scale, and so there are acres of area marked as 'cannot display at this scale'. Charts are not organised into same-scale sets either and loading a complete set at any particular scale is a hit and miss affair using the available chart list. The downloading of charts is not very user friendly.

I shall buy a folio set of paper charts covering my cruising area to log my voyage progress at the chart table. Going all-electronic goes against marine common sense, but in any case if I had to choose one electronic charting app it would not be this one.

### 5/5 — Fab app for The price

*2014-09-27, version 19.0.0*

I have used it to navigate my sailing boat by iPad all round Scotland, Hebrides and the Orkneys. Love it. Hope it's legal.
