User reviews

Enjoy the navigation

Don’t like that there is very, very limited information about the ground I’m covering. More names. Nothing comes up when I search a place and when I hover over a spot that should be my destination. Very limited information.. needs more not less

Location is not accurate

Current location is showing 200 meter which is showing I am on road while I am in the see

Make life easy

Been using this app for a while now. It is so simple to use 3d graphics ride and weather info course plotting offline charts its all there.

Numerous errors

We are new to boating world and really had high hopes for SV. The positives - very quick & easy to check wind, waves & tides. However, we are finding directions over land, ignoring recommended CTS, taking us through difficult waters that should be avoided, wrong side of cardinals & buoys & substantially incorrect distance and times. Other times it can show a perfect route, making the inconsistency more treacherous. We have fedback several times and been assured our issues are being addressed (“moved to latest algorithm”) but the issues keep coming. We expected this to be a modern replacement for old fashioned paper charts but we have to check everything with Chat GPT & Gemini first. It could be excellent, but it isn’t. Beware!

Data collection

This app tells you they are collecting any purchases you do on the device. All your searches & the data that goes with that. And there’s so much more. Why can’t we buy a service or device/app & it doesn’t take your location for another reason than to tell you where you are. I’m very disappointed that something as simple as a satnav would need to know what purchases I do on my phone. This is an overreach. And potentially something more than nefarious I personally feel.
