Okay - A Work in Progress

I have 2 other iPad marine navigation apps. They work fairly well. Havent found the Holy Grail as yet. And this app isnt it either. Charts are good and the detail is well presented. But there are a couple of basics that need to be added.

1. There does not appear to be a night mode to change screen colors to those that assist with night vision. Most recreational boaters dont sail at night. But enough of us do that this is an obvious need.

2. I like to see the speed and course on the screen like a regular chart plotter. It could be a chart feature thats user selected. Change the non-functioning compass rose on the upper right corner to display this info. Nothings wasted then.

3. Integrating the weather overlay is good. It would be better to automatically zoom out the screen to an appropriate scale so it can be viewed rather than having the user to manually do that. Once at a zoom level that shows the overlay, the user can adjust as needed.

These additions would make the app better.
