  • Works well but tough to use on cell phone

    I’ve got the large pro max iPhone but it’s still very tough to see and read while boating… no fault of the app. The only thing that is a real pain is having to re-hit the location arrow to reset it to track your motion, after every time you touch the map for any other reason. Have only used the trial for a few days so I’m not totally familiar with it. I do think it would be an excellent backup but I think I need a much larger screen.
  • Pricing policy changed to users disadvantage

    Unfortunately, Garmin more and more pushes their pricing models, which results in higher fees for larger regional maps. There is no more option to just select your boating area or state, instead you have to buy the entire country at a high price for “just software” use. Previously purchased map and navigation data unusable without renewal of the subscription. Lots of alternatives out there, especially when you use the government charts anyway, which are a lot clearer to me than the Garmin Navionics charts.
  • After change to pay model, 0 stars.

    It used to be a one time purchase, and you could use it forever. They changed to a 10x more expensive yearly subscription. I understand their desire to change, but spitting on the people who already purchased it is a little dirty.
  • Subscription is a joke

    I paid for the maps, now have to have a 50/year subscription to download them. Never
  • Yearly Fee

    Another long time user here that won’t be renewing because of the increased subscription price. $49 is just not worth it, especially running it off my phone. I’ve recommended this app to many boaters but can’t justify the new price since I use the app in combination with my chart plotter. Good luck Garmin.
  • Mediocre app

    Too many bugs. Examples: depth. Settings are in meters but the app is stuck in feet. An example: with your settings in meters the app show 10, roughly 30 feet. I touched the bottow few times because 10 is 10 feet. The freezes for no reason (I have the latest os on an iphone15pro) The map download speeds are so slow.. When you start a new route the app takes you to a suburb of Paris. Really??? Today I cant update the maps, frozen. When I tried again the message from Navionics: please try again later, it wasnt possible to detect if there are updates for you map (Eastern Med) The app feels that it is built by a remote developper working part time without a product manager
  • customer service non -existent

    I called on the phone was on hold for an hour with no answer and got bombarded with advertising. They said go to a chat bot on navionics.com. I went there and they said nobody was available. I should've tried savy navy .
  • Price increase is crazy

    By JoseCaliente
    I just went to renew my subscription and see that the price has more than tripled in price. The app was great to use in combination with my chart plotter but it’s certainly not worth $50. They’ve lost a longtime customer today.
  • Raised Price to a completely outrageous price

    Garmin ruined this product. Don’t buy this product- not worth it. Garmin is a bunch of crooks.
