Great App But Could Use More Features
For a $50 in app purchase and up to 1 GB of memory this app will give you detailed marine and navigational mapping for everything between the top of Alaska and the bottom of the Carribean - a great value. You only have to download the portions you need and other maps are available. The only down side is that the menu is highly restricitive compared to Garmin Marine nav system hardware. The vessel size is too large and not configurable, it doesnt project the vessel direction so you can see where the boat is headed one or two hours out, it doesnt provide any data while underway other than speed and heading (e.g. no distance or time remaining to your destination or intermediate way points). Therefore, it is more like a really good and compact chart book with the benefit of seeing where your vessel is on the map than a true navigatgional tool like a full feature Garmin hardware device.
