A lot of work left to do

Auto routing takes me across land. A lot of work left to do to make this usable and preferred. At $10 less than Navionics, too expensive for what it offers right now. Keep improving, and incorporate an anchor alarm. That is one thing Navionics doesn’t have.

Amazing app

We used this app again this summer on a two week trip on the Rideau Canal from Ottawa to Kingston, Ont. The app made it easy to navigate the big lakes where channel markers can be hard to see. The bonus is the option of a monthly subscription. By far the easiest and most feature-filled marine nav app out there!

They fixed it😊

I put a three star review a few days ago because the area where I boat wasn’t covered which was Lake of the Woods. Within 12 hours they had fixed that and sent me an email telling me to update the app. All great now. Now that’s service.

Bait and switch

Says you have maps then wants a subscription. Hell I’ll go buy me a TP for that paying that every year.
