Great App

Hello, thanks for creating this app, very useful interface. But how do we change the Area Of Interest? It is only showing the aids immediately near me, I'd like to look at other waterways within the same district.

APP IS DOWN

This app is great but it’s been down since September 201

USCG ANT VENICE

First things first…great app! I’ve used it for the last year to assist in lost storm surveys and making sure the LNM was running with the app. It’s worked every time for a year until 2 weeks ago!! Please get it working!! It loads last LNM and then closes on its own. The USCG ANT NOLA crew uses it too and also experiencing this issue. Seriously we need this app

Does not function

Unable to pull up local ATON, unable to search by LLNR

Very cool - USPS Coop-Charting program user

This app could be extremely useful with the Coop-Charting program users... I can imagine enhancing this to be able take pics from it and attach directly to ATON verification report and then auto output... any plans along this line?
