Didn’t work correctly

I was trying to use this app in Lake Tahoe for fishing. I needed to find an underwater mountain that was at 60’ deep. I positioned myself just above where the app said it would be and I was in 400’ of water. I confirmed this using another boats sonar. It also said I was in 3’ of water when near the shore but it was closer to 20’. The contours were at best a rough estimate.

I tried to cancel my subscription but I think it was a day late so now I have this useless app for a year and spent $50 on nothing.

*EDIT*
Garmin developer response makes no sense to me. Lake Tahoe at best fluctuates seasonally by a few feet not 340 feet that this app was off by.

App wont load or let me sign in

Updated version requires annual fees

I used the app for years and loved it, however it now requires annual subscription and lost all my downloaded maps. Not worth it when my fishfinders all have charts, it was just nice to have the maps on, when looking up spots when not on the water. Lost customer.

Money Thieving

I hate this app so much. I purchased charts in good faith but because I don’t need to purchase this year they lock out basic features that don’t need subscriptions to try to force users into expensive subscriptions. I can’t even create two waypoints as a route and navigate between them. Greed does not make you better than the competition. No wonder this app is slipping down the rankings in favour of newer nav apps.

App bom porém com ressalvas.

O aplicativo é muito bom e ajuda em navegações de águas interiores, único defeito é ser somente em Inglês.
