Navionics is the leader in Mobile Apps for marine navigation. Consistently reviewed by users and the media as a winner for functionality and enjoyment, Navionics Mobile Apps have garnered many international awards. Our aim is to build on this success with continued emphasis on improvement and development.
What’s new this year?
SonarCharts Double your Navionics chart! The new high definition bathymetry layer offers incredible seabed detail not available on existing cartography. To switch from one chart layer to the other, simply tap on the toggle button which appears on the map. SonarCharts will be available for iPhone and iPad as an In-App Purchase (iPhone $4.99 / iPad $9.99). The upgrade includes free updates for a year.
Nav Module This additional module was launched for iPhone and iPad this past summer and was immediately successful since it replicates the main functions of GPS plotters on mobile devices: route planning, ETA and distance to arrival, time and distance to next waypoint, fuel consumption and more. All this functionality for a one-time In-App Purchase of $1.99 on iPhone and $4.99 on iPad.
Fuel Prices All Navionics mobile users can now share and compare fuel prices of gas stations shown on the map. They can sort gas stations by price or distance, add new ones, and update prices. No extra purchase is required. It pays for the entire app: the app costs $9.99. If you save just 10 cents per gallon by finding a cheaper fuel price nearby, in 100 gallons you just paid for the Navionics App!
Easy View While on the water you may find it difficult to read the small text on your iPhone and iPad. The “Easy View” feature allows you to magnify useful icons and text on the map for easier reading.
Rate and Review The community of Navionics users contributes to enriching and improving our maps by adding POIs and other valuable information. This feature, available for quite some time, has led to hundreds of thousands of community edits. Navionics has improved this feature by allowing users to add their 1-5 star rating and/or leave a review about any of these thousands of POIs!
