INavX: Marine Navigation for Positive User Reviews
✓ Great AppBought this App a year ago and have used it every time we have gone out on the boat. We are on the Rideau system and the maps are great. One evening it got dark earlier than I expected and used it to get back. It is accurate to within 1 meter of the channel markers and got us back safe. Somebody complained about the price on charts, checked Fisheries and paper maps for the entire Rideau is 56.00. A one year license with all the updates is 70.00. don't think it is overpriced and is very user friendly and you only pay for maps you actually want and can use. I recommend this app for everyone that has a boat and doesn't want or need to invest in a chart plotter. I am glad I have this App. Keep up the good work!.Version: 3.2.4
✓ Excellent appI use both iNavx & Navionics. I think iNavx has the clear advantage of linking into the NMEA data on the yacht so using the ships gps which is more accurate than the ipad's. Displaying AIS on the chart is another great plus. Easy to use & works with Navionics charts. Downloading looks complex but is actually very easy. Only negative is it doesn't use the navionics tidal data which has rate & set on the chart. But imray tide planner is very good alternative. It would be nice to have the ability to draw lay lines on the chart, & a top level button to restart the tcp/ip link. Overall i think the best navigation tool for the ipad..Version: 5.0.9
✓ Exceptional!I really cannot understand the recent (and few) negative reviews... I am slipped in the Santa Cruz, California small craft harbor. I have 20 year old integrated Raytheon electronics (fish finder, radar, chart plotter) and following the tsunami that hit our harbor, I lost the chart plotter functionality. Knowing that to replace my integrated system would cost me over 10K, I 'rolled the dice' and downloaded INavX to 'temporarily' replace the plotter as I was not prepared to haul out, $$$, etc. Well, over two years later I still am not planning a haul out for electronics as... I now am very satisfied with my IPAD/INavX next to my radar and fish finder. I currently have all my fishing and important navigation coordinates loaded and adding new ones regularly with a tap of the stylus. In actuality, don't even miss my old chart plotter... Thank you INavX... Captain Rich Bonny-Matit.Version: 5.5.5
✓ InvaluableI didn’t find the app immediately intuitive; however, watching a couple of easily accessible YouTube videos was all it took. Navigated a 5 day and a 10 day sailing trips on Lake Ontario over the summer using only iNavX on my iPhone..Version: 5.6.3
✓ Accurate Precise works with GPS, but not sure of reliabilityFor $4.99 I should not complain. But, no Track Up???I mean, c'mon, how difficult is that to implement? Also I lose the chart sometimes and have to redownload. I fear that will happen on the fly when I meed the chart and do not have internet access on the water. So the $4.99 is a waste if I can't rely on it. For now though, it's worked well for coastal and bay cruising to keep me safe from shallows and obstructions. Really dislike North Up only, but I can live with that and hoping they'll come to their senses with a fix..Version: 5.5.6
✓ 5 stars!!!Large set of maps for reasonable extra cost (at least as far as marine charts go). The interface and settings options make this app or choice for true navigation. And finally: you can plan your route at home, enter all the waypoints and then have everything handy at sea. Five stars well deserved..Version: 5.2
✓ International Dateline issueI used this app on a passage across the Pacific Ocean from Panama to Vanuatu loaded with the maps for this area. On the whole the app performed well on my iPad 3G which has built in GPS. But the Achilles heel of this app is when you transit the International Dateline which cuts through Fiji and I assume it would be the same in the N hemisphere as well. This makes it impossible to view the islands of Fiji in detail as you can only look on one side of the dateline and if you want to look on the other side YOU NEED TO SCROLL RIGHT AROUND THE WORLD SO THAT YOU APPROACH THE DATELINE FROM THE OTHER SIDE ie W to E. Also your route line goes right around the world in the WRONG direction which is a safety issue as you cannot then do a scan down your route line from your current position to the next waypoint to see if there are any obstructions along your plotted route. I did not have this issue with the vessels built in Raymarine GPS chart plotter and iNavx really need to get Navionics to fix this issue. Attn iNavx Support - Can you please provide an update on the status of the fix for this very important issue which is crucial for anyone doing Ocean passages near the Dateline.. The initial feedback I posted above is now over 5 years old. Thanks Steve. Dec 2018 Attn iNavx Support - Are you ever going to resolve the serious dateline issues with your app that I have previously reported above? An update would certainly be appreciated by the cruising community..Thanks. Steve Aug 2020 Attn iNavx Support....it really looks bad that you cannot respond with an update regarding this serious deficiency in your app that I first raised 9 years ago now. It makes your app virtually useless for any cruisers doing extended cruising around Fiji. Like seriously, are you going to fix it or not as it is a real safety issue? Steve April 2022.Version: 5.5.6
✓ INavXJust starting with this one after a recommendation from Practical Boat Owner. The speed on the Ipad3 is good, as is the chart quality. User friendliness is much better than the average chart plotter, but you still need to read the user guide. This contains it all, but the layout is very crowded and it could do with a good editor. Still just fiddling at the moment, so this is a first impression. I could not understand why it kept taking me back to the UK east coast when I was studying the Baltic. My first instinct was that I was being dosy and that was correct! Turn the location function off when you are planning! The other necessity is to disable the tool bar at the bottom of the screen or you keep activating one of the functions accidentally when zooming and panning..Version: 3.5.2
✓ Great App but could be improvedThe “divider” function on the chart for measuring bearing and distance is behind other apps. Once you have double tapped the chart to bring up the divider function you can’t move or zoom in or out of the chart without the divider disappearing which is frustrating when trying to get a bearing between marks that are further apart then the area of the chart you are zoomed into. I have mentioned this to the developer for a number of years, but so far sadly this has never been improved..Version: 5.6.6
✓ GoodINavX, it s a good application but they are only charts for USA because NOAA/Maptech give maptech charts and Encs. I would like put my nauticals charts. If MacENC can send the charts for iNavX it s very good. For this time i paid 50 dollars and i can not use. Like the oziexplorer app can send to ozi pocket th charts. I do not want a server to dl my charts i want put my charts i have already scanned... I don t want pay more..... I want read grib file for see the meteo.......Version: 0
✓ " Good app, very stable - User friendly, no-nonsense. "Stable app. Easy and fast plotting and planning, correcting on the fly, panning and zooming. All you need and more for a fraction of the price of a RayMarine. Add a water tight housing (beware for direct sunlight exposure and subsequent overheating!), and you have your chart plotter at hand in every weather condition. I wouldn't want anything else..Version: 5.2
✓ Excellent AppThis is the best navigation app and the support is second to none. I do agree that it could be improved by including tidal/current data but even without this it far exceeds apps like Boating. It’s on the water information and configurability is excellent (range rings, velocity vector, colour configuration etc etc) as is its route planning. The AIS information (CPA, speed etc) is clearly displayed. Altogether a very good app and I’ve tried a lot!.Version: 5.6.14
✓ Recommended by my sailing instructorThis app was initially recommended to me by my first sailing instructor. I cruise often now and bought many other marine nav apps but keep finding myself using iNavX. This app has all the features of my on board chart plotter and is more intuitive in my opinion. Thank you for keeping me safe over many years and creating beautiful memories. If you sail, do yourself a favor and incorporate this app into your regular equipment rotation..Version: 5.0.9
✓ Excellent app for navigationWorks very well..Version: 5.0.9
✓ Best and easiest navigation app.Waypoints easy to input. Maps are available..Version: 5.5.6
✓ Great App!Really appreciate being able to navigate and confirm my location using this app and my phone or iPad. Makes my travels much safer and efficient. Could be a little better, the pointing of the vessel, it often it shows me aimed in a different direction than I am, however i just use the corse line to make sure it’s aimed where I want to go..Version: 5.2
✓ Amazing chart selection, great supportThe chart selection is amazing. I had a small issue with charts not showing up. I received very responsive support. My problem was resolved promptly. Well worth the buy..Version: 5.5.2
✓ Very SatisfiedWe have been using iNavx for years. From the start, found it extremely easy to use and equally helpful. Customized instrument settings provide the info you want balanced w readability and font size. Loaded on both iPad and phone (at Nav station and on deck). It is very simple to touch and drop a WP and to see location on chart; range; bearing; SOG; COG; VMG. Great tool and very intuitive from the start..Version: 5.1.1
✓ IPad-iPhoneBought charts uk on my iPhone Went to load on my iPad, have to buy the same chart again.. Apart from that it’s a great app, would be good to add an automated route point A to B avoiding shallows, and obstacles Really disappointed I have to buy the same charts again, bit if a rip off on same account. Hence lost of two stars.Version: 5.5.6
✓ Off line use, iPod, bad elf for gpsThe good: Very minimal investment for a functional chart plotter. Ability to add photos to waypoint. The not so good: Can’t knit charts. Can’t change route headings to magnetic. Can’t change weight of track lines. Chart inserts don’t download with chart. Too many non-nautical icons and not enough charting icons. Can’t add notes to routes. All-in-all a very useful app..Version: 5.5.10
✓ Very dissapointing now for UK usersI used to recommend InavX to friends as it was one of the few apps that actually send out Bearing to waypoint data so I can navigate with it. (Rather than just usingit as a map display). I had excellent Navionics UK charts, (apart from the lack of tidal data). Where are the UK (admiralty data!) charts?? Without these its not possible to recommend this app anymore! PLEASE clearly ADD UK CHARTS to the store .. !.Version: 5.6.16
✓ Chartplotter liteI like this app. It can download raster charts, look at them and get a familear course and velocity indicator. The iPhone gps is not as responsive as a Garmin or raytheon for getting accurate speed and course so I doubt that it will be useful for sailing. Perhaps Powerboating though. I'd prefer to use ENC charts than Raster. Perhaps later..Version: 0
✓ So far so goodDespite some teething trouble with wifi connecting our existing old gps and new AIS radio to the ipad, which has nothing to do with inavx we love it. Connecting from the app is easy its just so new that few tech people seem to be able to help so its DIY, the best and only way for me. This weekend we sailed across the firth of forth and used the AIS vector function to plan and monitor our shipping lane crossings, it was most useful and reassuring and so easy to use. Could have left it plugged in on the chart table though as the batteries went at one point, but my 12 year old sorted that out for daddy, in fact he sorts most of the inavx out full stop its so user friendly. See our sailing blog for more. Chortlesailingblog.Version: 5.0.5
✓ Buggy update—BEWARE!Ordinarily, this is the best marine nav app available (tho I’ve been asking for features in this latest update since the app was first released in the dark ages). Unfortunately, these long-overdue changes killed my ability to see my $90 Navionics charts (for which I was charged full price instead of the usual renewal price—but that’s another story). DO NOT UPDATE UNTIL THEY FIX THIS!.Version: 5.5.2
✓ Stagnated. And push advertisingNot a lot of new features over the years but a lot of advertising. Also, when an advertisement says "x % off ALL CHARTS" it should mean all charts. But the promos never work on Canadian charts and the support persons never address the issues. Happens once I understand but this is a constant pattern..Version: 5.5.6
✓ Great nav programWe have used various versions of iNavX since it was launched many years ago. We used an early version while sailing in our home waters of Alaska. We used it down through Canada and into Mexico. We used it across the Pacific to Fiji and back to French Polynesia. We think that it's easy to use and stitches charts seamlessly. No nav program is any better than the charts for your area. Mexico has terrible charts, US and Canada have great charts, and many South Pacific countries have so-so charts. If your cruising area is well charted then iNavX will provide excellent navigation. Many of its features are better than our dedicated plotter's so it's worth owning and using..Version: 5.5.10
✓ Great AppWorks well, the interface is a little confusing at first but ok once you get the hang of it. The cost has risen considerably since it went onto the Apple App Store for no discernible benefit..Version: 5.5.6
✓ The One to HaveWe have used INavX for 10,000 nm of travel, mostly on the ICW and adjacent waters. Because it used NOAA charts, it works well in part because we always have a paper chart handy just in case. At first, our blue water sailing friend was skeptical, but after two days he agreed that with INavX and an IPad, there is no need for a chart plotter..Version: 5.2
✓ VIews of a novice electronic chart userIt took me a while to get my head around how the program works but I am at the point where I can complete a journey, make changes to my route and have the security of knowing where I'm located at all times. I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to sail safely..Version: 5.0.9
✓ Best app purchase ever!!!I have had this app for over 5 years, and I have received immense value from the purchase. While it is always best to confirm location with other means, iNav has never failed me. Being able to have redundancy, on both my iPad and iPhone, allows for extra piece of mind. Updating charts is easy. I have traveled extended trips in the Great Lakes and connecting river, including anchoring out using the anchor alarm feature. This app will be a necessity in an upcoming Great Loop trip..Version: 5.1.1
✓ How do I get my Navionics charts back?I bought a new iPad for an update. All my charts got transferred except the Navionics charts. I’ve contacted the developer more than a week ago and yet to hear from them. So, how do I get my Navionics charts back? Please let me know how to do this soon. I go back to Panama in a month where the WiFi is slow and data transfer difficult..Version: 5.5.6
✓ QuiltingBought charts for Croatia. Trying to prep route at home before going but can’t seem to go seamlessly from one chart to another. There must be a way..Version: 5.2
✓ ReviewHi I believe if you can use your iPhone or device with this program you can get anywhere like a map, lol well it is a giant water map with detailed information or pictures to adjust where you may be or need to go to. The next program that would be amazing would be a program that can be used without internet, WiFi, or anything that needs satellite interactions. Hope this helps you, much Aloha. Nicho.:).Version: 5.5.4
✓ Amazing!This application is absolutely amazing. I purchased it when it was originally launched and have used it over and over ever since. To take full advantage, you'll want to have an X-Traverse account ($10/year) as well as purchased digital charts (ex. CHS) and if you own a Mac, GPSNavX. This application and GPSNavX allow your maps to seamlessly sync between your computer and iPhone - including Waypoints, Tracks/Routes, etc. I use CHS Charts on a daily basis with this app and they are fantastic! Ever enter an unknown water area and you're unsure about depth levels? No problem, just pop open the app and using the device's built in GPS (no cell signal required) it pulls open the map that relates to your current position and tracks you as you go along, so you can safely see where you're going. A fantastic app, and kudos to the GPSNavX team for another GREAT product!.Version: 0
✓ Fantastic app for all sailorsI just spent 2 weeks sailing running iNavX. Fantastic apps amazingly easy to use, very comprehensive in planning route, waypoints... very good maps easy to buy ... I have a lot of experience with PC based navigation software, iNavX brings the power of all these applications right at your fingertips ....Version: 5.2
✓ Very good navigation toolWe forgot our Garmin Marine GPS for a trip in Prince William Sound. Downloaded the application into our iPhones & were very happy with the results. Even with one bar in spots of the Sound the results were quite accurate. Some of the icons like rock hazards * were too large for necessary routes into meandering passages but eyes on the bow & a depth sounder made it a very useful tool. Speed over ground seemed spot on..Version: 5.5.6
✓ Crumphead is wrongCrumphead you absolutely can but charts for Australia. For a fraction of the cost of paper charts. I use this App as a back up to our Navigation system, regularly. They have fixed the WP problems, hurray! I love the route system and the detail on the charts are fantastic. I import GRIB files with the greatest of ease. Sure, as we're in Australia we need to buy charts but i think thats a very reasonable request. I also have other Nav products but iNavx wins hands down. Well done, love it..Version: 5.6.29
✓ Easy and Simple!I took my small craft out on the South Channel of the Straits of Mackinac for the first time last week. I was able to plot waypoints and get a heading within minutes. Our party traveled to Mackinac Island, Cheboygan and Bois Blanc Islands all week without a hiccup. We even navigated safely back to our port after the fireworks in a near moonless evening. Best $4.99 I've ever spent! This app, coupled with a handheld marine transceiver allowed me to boat in the Great Lakes with a 19' bow rider!.Version: 5.5.6
✓ Great Nav appI’ve been using iNavX (or it’s predecessor) for years. It’s solid and dependable. Never any problems. If you are iOS, don’t hesitate. If you want a professional, easy to use nav app: Just get it..Version: 5.6.16
✓ Use this app often if you work at sea.This app was initially recommended to me by my first sailing instructor. I cruise often now and bought many other marine nav apps but keep finding myself using iNavX. This app has all the features of my on board chart plotter and is more intuitive in my opinion. Thank you for keeping me safe and creating beautiful memories. If you sail, do yourself a favor and incorporate this app into your regular equipment rotation..Version: 5.2
✓ Good but not intuitiveI like the reference to original charts, but I find the interface to be a bit clunky moving between charts and zooming. On the other hand, it’s pretty obvious where the information is coming from compared to some of the other charting apps. This is a good app to have in conjunction to one of the other vector-based charting apps..Version: 5.5.5
✓ Superb App...I have read with interest some of the comments about having to download the costly Canadian Charts. That isn't a problem with X-Traverse or INavx but with the Canadian Government charging for this service. Note that the NOAA Charts for the US are free, by comparison. You can always download the Navionics charts for Canadian regions instead that are cheaper. This is an unbelievable app. I have the Navionics and CHS charts for the waters inside Vancouver Island and with these charts, INavX is superb. It outperformed the chart plotter on the boat we chartered by a country mile and it had all of the capability of that we needed. Apparently it can be used with Auto pilot systems through NMEA but I cannot comment on that. Jim.Version: 3.5.6
✓ TremendousI have tried a number of the marine navigation aids for iPhone/iPad but this is by far and away the best. A fully featured solution which provides all the functionality of a plotter minus the radar. Have used this for racing round the Solent, offshore racing and passages to France amongst others and the ease of use and ability to link in with NMEA instruments wirelessly including AIS has made it an essential piece of equipment. Uploading Solent race marks took seconds and creating navigational routes could not be easier, but you will need to buy charts. I purchased navionics gold for europe which was very economic by comparison to alternatives and essentially I now have a fully featured mobile plotter for circa £70 with all the latest maps for Southern UK and Europe. Great value and the support service is incredibly helpful also..Version: 3.2.8
✓ Best iOS Navigation AppAwesome. Allows routes and waypoints to be saved, copied, modified. Integrates with other apps by allowing route to be sent (eg Weather4D). Integrated into ship side hardware where wifi link is available.Version: 5.0.4
✓ Circumnavigated in 2 yrsFound iNavX to be very reliable and accurate everywhere we went, French Polynesia to N Australia, Indonesia to India, Red Sea through Mediterranean, Cape Verde to the South American Giuanas, Southern Caribbean to Panama, now up the Central American & Mexican Pacific coast. I highly recommend it as a compliment to a chart plotter. Charts for our B&G chart plotter are expensive so I don’t buy them and just use the generic world chart that comes free with the chart plotter. I subscribe to the iNavX Navionics charts per region as needed, and then plan my routes on iNavX, with all its visible detail, and transfer the waypoints to my chart plotter. I use iPhone 6 Plus but maybe a tablet, with its larger screen, would be better. Be great if someday PredictWind GPX’s could somehow be imported and managed..Version: 5.5.4
✓ Excellent all round.INavX is the best because it interfaces with gps,NMEA,AIS and I am sure others I don’t know about. It enabled me to make both iPads on the boat wireless with the installation of a multiplexer. Even though we have old Raymarine ST50 instruments! I have used it for the past five years and it’s always been 100% accurate. How people can say only use it as a back up I don’t know..Version: 5.5.4
✓ AIS integration is greatI use iNavX together with my vespermarine XB8000 AIS and they work perfectly together. This has transformed my feeling of safety when sailing in limited visibility. Easy to use, easy to integrate and nice clear graphics..Version: 5.2
✓ The best chart plotter on the marketINavX is the best chart plotter available. I’ve used it for years now and have it with me every time I step aboard. It’s mobile, it’s digital, it’s in my pocket all times. Most importantly it is easy to use, has all the charts I need for all over the world, and really handy features like weather and AIS..Version: 5.5.6
✓ The best marine charting appThe closest thing yet from a software perspective to a fully functional marine chart plotter. I stream NMEA 0183 data (heading, GPS data set and depth) over WiFi to the i pad works well. The ability to have both Navonics and NZ Mariner charts loaded - it's just brilliant.Version: 4.0.2
✓ Very goodGood charts everywhere.Version: 5.5.4
✓ ExcellentHave used it for 8 years, mainly sailing in Caribbean, though also western Atlantic and out to Azores. Very pleased with it. Though would like a more usable system for saving tracks (there doesn’t seem to be an easy way of reviewing sections or saving same)..Version: 5.5
✓ $50 large screen chart plotter in your cockpitThis app is unbelievably great! Canadian Hydrographic Service electronic charts are not free and iNavX can't, won't and shouldn't be asked to eat that cost for you. They are up-front about the price of Canadian waters charts. If you don't want to pay for your region then take it up with CHS but iNavX does not deserve a poor rating because a government agency has a policy you don't like. In a recent three-day race around Lake Ontario. I was able to view 8 km spacing GRIB (wind prediction) data atop my real-time position and track (on iPad). Having it on the large touch-screen makes it immersive. On another boat, I have wired up the instrument package to broadcast over WiFi (using a product recommended in iNavX's documentation). Real-time wind and boat speed and direction and depth can all be shown on-screen along with clear instructions for steering to a waypoint. If there is a danger, it is that you'll find yourself relying on it so much you'll forget to look in front of you! I think most of the negative reviews were because it doesn't make coffee..Version: 3.6.0
✓ Overall Pretty ReliableI will never buy another marine navigation app. iNavX has proven to be just as accurate as any instruments we have in the wheel house while offshore so I would recommend it to anyone who works offshore. My only complaint is when you rotate your iPad to landscape mode, the heading of your ship is being shown 90° to Port. That is beyond annoying. If that were fixed, iNavX earns an easy 5 stars..Version: 5.6.11
✓ InavXDEFINITELY THE BEST! This navigation system with Navionics charts is by far the the best I have experienced in 30 years of long distance sailing, from sextant through all the various newer methods and finally with iNavX. It would have looked like science fiction not that many years ago to navigate safely with an iPhone (and maybe a back up one!) instead of dozens of charts, nautical almanacs, sextant etc. The are other system that do the job, but iNavX and Navionics have no competition..Version: 5.0.9
✓ Good appAnother update to say thanks for the great customer service. I was hesitating about paying for a second subscription for my phone, but this is a company that deserves my support - they'll get a bit of bonus revenue from me this year..Version: 5.5.6
✓ No charts of Canadian west coastNot what’s advertised in description Big disappointment Big waste of money.Version: 5.5.9
✓ Great system.My integrated Pathfinder system is 20 years old, and the chart plotter is out of date. It works, but the chart plotter map is old, and updates are costly if you can find one. I tried this with an iPad as an alternative. It was confusing at first, so I read the instructions (duh). This is a really good low cost alternative that is effective, current, and does what I need. I still use the radar and depth finder on the old system. If you have trouble figuring out how to use it, remember the old adage, “When all else fails, follow the instructions.” They are clear and concise..Version: 5.5.10
✓ AwesomeWorks well for Me.Version: 5.5.8
✓ Great IPad Navigation App!INavX takes a little time and effort to learn all its functions and offerings, but it is well worth it. INavX support is exceptional. Being able to overlay AIS, weather, and Waterway Guide Explorer, makes it even more valuable on the water. My only negative comment, is that the Canadian CHS charts are no longer available, no fault of INavX. Waterway Explorer refers to the CHS Charts, so it is a lose. However, I understand INavX is working to find another source. A 5 Star app, in my books!.Version: 5.5.4
✓ IPad 2 proThanks for the fix .its back to being my favourite. Next step wifi integration with yacht instruments..Version: 5.1.1
✓ What is this alarm aboutXxxxxxxxx.Version: 5.5.6
✓ Powerful navigation in your handI use InavX in conjunction with an IMUX wireless jobbie which connects all my boat instruments and tiller pilot to the software on my iPad making it an unbelievably powerful chart plotter. I like the fact that I am not entirely dependant on one device: if the iPad goes flat, I've got an iPhone on a lanyard around my neck, if they both fail, I still have my instruments. It's so handy to be able to shut nearly all my electronics on the boat off and just be able to glance at the phone or iPad to check my course. The software itself is intuitive and easy to use with a little nautical knowledge. The combination of compatibility with charts and routes plus a great range of charts available to download makes this a great package. Whether you are just keen crew, recording a trip or taking an interest in where you are or an ambitious sailor, I see no reason why you couldn't cross the Atlantic with it (but I won't be, thanks!). I tried a lot of other combinations of software/plotters before. They are either crucifyingly expensive or a pig to use. The charts in this country (uk) will always be expensive but InavX provides an easy and fairly priced method of buying. I wish I'd started with InavX instead of blowing good money on weaker alternatives. Definitely the best option for small boat sailors and powerful enough for larger craft as a back-up..Version: 5.0.5
✓ Powerful app, but the mapsI was using the app with the noaa data for many years. very clunky with zoom in and out. Bought the USA maps upgrade and wow! Just got two more stars. Works like it should. App is complicated, lots of stuff, but way easier to use than handheld gps devices..Version: 5.6.16
✓ Excellent navigation programVery, very useful and reliable navigation program. I took 1 star off only because I found importing waypoints and routes to be somewhat cumbersome - but that may be due to my lack of knowledge on how to do those tasks more efficiently. This app also works very well in conjunction with their desktop navigation program GPSNavX. Tech support is very fast and helpful; I had a very good response to a query within 12 hours of making the request. I will never leave the dock without it!.Version: 5.0.8
✓ William JenningsAbsolutely Love it , bought it for $60 back in 2010 , a friend of mine bought a 32’ shrimp boat in Louisiana & it only had a cheap vhf radio on board & no other electronics , so I used my iPhone 4 & this app brought us home to Alabama.. I love that it’s entirely GPS BASED !!! No phone service necessary.. it works 100+ miles offshore... Truly Awesome Product ... charts are accurate!!! I will be upgrading to AIS live , in the near future.. it worked flawlessly on my iPhone 6S plus & now iPhone 8+ as well.. Thank You , for creating an awesome Product.. I’m a commercial fisherman.Version: 5.5.6
✓ Great AppFairly easy to use! I have been using a Furuno chart plotter which is a bear to operate. More time to figure out than time of actual navigation. I like the idea that I can down load and update any chart anytime anywhere. NOAA charts are free! Some of the procedures aren't as intuitive as I would like. I'm of an age where my memory isn't quite so good so would like to see a simple easy to use set of basic instructions. As it is an app on installed on my iPad It reduces the need for a standalone chart plotter and other computer gadgets greatly reducing onboard clutter and frustration. Overall, a great app at a fair price. Customer service is great too!.Version: 5.0.9
✓ Excellent Navigation SystemWhen used with an iPad and with instrument information by WiFi this app provides much better navigation than fixed chartplotters. It is particularly good for race navigation, but equally suitable for the cruising sailor..Version: 5.0.9
✓ NavigationI have found this system very useful. The charts are easy to read on iPad 1 and works well with my iAIS system on board. It is much easier to use than the 'same' system on my laptop. I also have Imray charts and the other chart system Navionics Marine. The latter is much easer to use but is not linked to the iAIS. I do not seem to have been able to automatically download a second copy for my iPhone which is annoying as the system to purchase is complicated requiring one to register and pay to more than one organisation in different countries. If this was tided up I would be more enthusiastic..Version: 3.6.6
✓ INavX AIS LIVEBad app does not gives what it offers “World wide” coverage and that is plain false and the fact that it requires WFi or good Internet connection makes it useless for real ocean sailing, so it is too expensive for “no service” ( there is no way to get your money back even if you unsubscribe just 4 days after getting it) Xavier González Ortega.Version: 5.5.6
✓ DisappointingMost of the features and usability is great but it’s let down by dateline issues. I’ve been told by iNavX that this was going to be fixed for 4 years now and still nothing. I can only assume they are paying lip service to shut me up whilst having no intention of fixing the issue. Disappointing at best..Version: 5.5.2
✓ Good App, but...We have used this app for two years now, sailing out of St. Augustine, FL, and now bound around the world on our 35' sailboat. This app has many nice features and it has gotten us through the Caribbean, now 3,000 miles. I really like the way it works and the detail it shows. I prefer the Navionics charts. We run the app on our iPad2 as our primary chart plotter, and keep a back-up iPad2 loaded with the same charts. You are allowed to run charts on two devices for the one purchase price for each set of charts. Here's the "But...": This app does not support Active Captain. Active Captain is like TripAdvisor for cruisers. On chart plotters and apps that show AC, you can see details about ports, marinas, and anchorages right on your chart, complete with member reviews. If iNavX allowed Active Captain to show on its charts, it would be about perfect for navigation. Until iNavX supports AC, I will rate this a 4..Version: 5.1.1
✓ Slick AppThis app works great. Formatted perfect for the iPad. Not sure why people are complaining. NOAA has plenty of free map downloads of the Great Lakes. If you need any more details buy the CHS charts... The app can replace any garmin handheld unit!.Version: 3.2.4
✓ INavX for racingThis is really the only charting software for racing - and I have tried many.Version: 5.5.8
✓ Te Arahi againI have been using INavX for years and have always had a problem building a route due to the fact that there seems to be no way to remove a waypoint. I have read the guide book regarding routes and this does not seem to be much help. Can you please expand on the instructions. Regards John Martin This is a great app. The cost of the App + charts + IPad is less than a chart plotter and is just as good or better. I have checked it out in New Zealand's Hauraki Gulf, Bay of Islands and as far north as Whangaroa and I can not fault it. I am a retired Airline Pilot so I know something about Navigation. I have checked the GPS positions against my basic Garmin 128 GPS unit and readouts agree exactly. Recently I used it to assist me to navigate inside Rimariki Island and very pleased with the result. 10 out of 10 . Te Arahi.Version: 5.5.10
