Marine Navigation-USA Lake Map at Mac App Store analyse

Great app. Using it right now on my travel down the Chesapeake. Has speed, depth and I can download tons of noaa charts without additional charge that are accessible offline. Also one thing I like is to place a waypoint when I anchor. In the night if I am worried I am drifting I check this app to see where my gps is versus the anchor. That is super useful in my book.

I was able to transfer all my existing routes from my PC route planning software to this. I am glad it did not loose the names of points i had so meticulously entered. Looking forward to using it this summer.

I like how easy it is to plot precise routes using this app. Finally an app that gets it right.

Perfect app with perfect precision.. Now I dont have to use those clunky devices this summer. Love it..

Astoundingly bad - fraudulent would be a better description. This is a beta version, and a very early one at that. The screenshots show a simulator - the actual app does not have the functionality shown or advertised. The instructions do not even exist - site says "coming soon". The existing reviews are bogus, clearly posted by the developer (look at the names). I cant believe this made it into the App Store.

I hold a 50 ton inland Masters license and am a professional mariner in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have used many professional GPS based electronic navigation applications both on dedicated hardware devices and PC based applications such as Navtrek from Nobeltec Software. I recently downloaded GPS Nautical Charts on my iPhone while on vacation in Maui, Hawaii. I was very impressed with how easy it was for me to download the charts for the regions I wanted as well as the ease of use for all the functions, i.e. location indication based on the iPhones GPS, route planning, track, way points etc. I liked this program so much that tomorrow Im buying an iPad with 3G/LTE connectivity that has the built in GPS sensor. I plan to install this software on my new iPad and use it on the bay where I crew on the local charter sailboat NEHEMIAH. Also the customer support has been outstanding. All my questions asked via email were answered immediately and provided complete solutions to any issues I had. Anyone who has experience with any of the existing dedicated hardware or PC based electronic navigation software will be very impressed with US Nautical Charts-NOAA-Marine Carts app for sailing boating kayaking and fishing - USA! I just purchased the iPad and installed US Nautical Charts-NOAA-Marine Charts app for sailing boating kayaking and fishing - USA on the iPad as well and am very happy with the details of the chart images, the functions and the user support. While this app. for the iPad is identical to the iPhone app., the larger platform makes it quite a bit easier to operate. One additional note: Ive read some of the negative reviews of this app and am quite baffled by the negativity. While I cant compare it to other iPad or iPhone apps., I think this app performs quite well especially when I remember that just a few years ago I needed a PC, Garmin or other brand GPS along with the software like Nobeltek to do the same tasks. Also, connecting the GPS to the PC required a special interface. Unless one is a power user who needs distance off, radar & weather overlays etc. this is a great app.

I tried almost every lake app out there. This is the only one I found that offered comprehensive coverage for inland Texas lake maps. I have been using it for quite some time now. It has worked flawlessly for me. The maps are quite detailed, and I like the way app shows the route I am taking - much better than my garmin. I was even able to hear the sound guidance on my portable Bluetooth device.
